From missing links, to primordial beginnings, to extremely powerful plasma jets that could be shaping our universe in mysterious ways, here are the top 10 black hole discoveries that blew our ...

A "missing link" black hole in Omega Centauri is still missing. What appeared to be an intermediate-mass black hole was a cluster of stellar-mass black holes. New research may have delivered bad ...

A black hole is a region of spacetime where gravity is so intense that nothing, no matter how much energy it has, can escape. Inside the event horizon, gravity supersedes all other forces of nature.

Oct. 7, 2024 — Researchers conducted innovative simulations of spinning black holes grounded in general relativity, which clarified that the ultraluminous accretion disk (i.e., gaseous spiral ...

Stars in binaries with black holes usually suffer gruesome fates, but two newly discovered systems hint at a survival mechanism. Death by black hole isn't always inevitable for stars that exist in ...

The black hole is so enormous that it makes up roughly 40% of the total mass of its host galaxy: in comparison, most black holes in the local universe are roughly 0.1% of their host galaxy mass.

Analysis of the mysterious GW190521 signal The team applied this technique to the mysterious gravitational-wave signal GW190521, which involves a black hole that falls in the forbidden mass gap ...

An artist's impression of a black hole in the early universe. Illustration: Jiarong Gu Gas: It’s what’s for dinner. At least that was the case for a black hole in the early universe ...

The black hole is so enormous that it makes up roughly 40% of the total mass of its host galaxy: in comparison, most black holes in the local universe are roughly 0.1% of their host galaxy mass.

Black holes are some of the most extreme objects in the universe, and a new mission proposal suggests launching a space telescope specifically to study them. The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT ...
