Traditionally thought to go silent after a brief flare of activity, some black holes are now being observed emitting new ...

Black holes are invisible, yet they are among the brightest things in the universe. If a star wanders too close to a black hole, it gets torn apart in a fireworks show called a tidal disruption event.

Sometimes a black hole is orbited by a neutron star—the dense corpse of a star also formed from a supernova explosion but which contains less mass than a black hole.

It’s the largest black hole jet we’ve discovered to date. What makes this particular jet so exciting for astronomers is not only its size. It’s also estimated to be 1.2 billion years old.

For years, scientists have theorized that some black holes could be wormholes, and a new study shows that this space-time mimicry could in fact be possible.

A team of astronomers led by Michael Janssen (Radboud University, The Netherlands) has trained a neural network with millions of synthetic black hole data sets. Based on the network and data from ...

As we know, black holes are able to grow thanks to their voracious consumption of matter — a process called accretion. After looking at the massive energy budget of ENTs and their distinct appearance, ...

This idea, which we call the black hole universe, offers a radically different view of cosmic origins, yet it is grounded entirely in known physics and observations. Today’s standard cosmological ...

The findings suggest black holes could provide a cheaper, natural alternative to billion-dollar particle colliders, if we can figure out how to harness them. Skip to content Gizmodo ...
