Every galaxy has a supermassive black hole at its center, much like every egg has a yolk. But sometimes, hens lay eggs with ...

"The Spiderweb protocluster is an ideal laboratory for investigating the relationship between black holes and star formation ...

Astronomers have identified a remarkable water reservoir in deep space, circling a huge quasar more than 12 billion ...

Hubble captures NGC 5643, a grand design spiral galaxy 40M light-years Observations reveal star formation and an active supermassive black hol A smaller black hole, NGC 5643 X-1, outshines the ...

What is a black hole? The mass of a star, concentrated into a single point. A point of infinite density, a singularity. A sphere around this point, from which a spaceship could only escape the central ...

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 ...

A monster lurks in the heart of many galaxies, a supermassive black hole able to devour entire stars in a blink. These objects can be dormant, like the core of our own Milky Way galaxy ...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has unveiled the closest-ever look at a monster black hole devouring its cosmic surroundings. This supermassive black hole, at the heart of a quasar known as 3C 273 ...

But it wasn't clear whether this was caused by an "intermediate mass" black hole (IMBH), weighing a hundred thousand times the mass of the Sun, or a cluster of "stellar mass" black holes ...

In my new book Event Horizon Strategy, I liken the impact of AI to the uncertainty created by black holes in cosmology. Black holes are viewed as "singularities": regions of infinite density and ...
