The black hole's voracious appetite, which has allowed it to pile on more than seven million solar masses in just 12 million ...

Supermassive black holes exist at the center of most galaxies, and modern telescopes continue to observe them at surprisingly ...

A recent study has proposed a new mechanism for the formation of primordial black holes that could provide answers about dark matter.

Primordial black holes may be exploding throughout the universe. If we can catch them in the act, it could pave the way to ...

A radical hypothesis suggesting black holes could be behind the accelerating expansion of our universe has been stirring up ...

Understanding how these black holes managed to grow so rapidly in the early universe has posed significant challenges.

But the Webb may have just identified a solution to the dilemma as well. It has spotted a black hole that appears to have ...

At the heart of our Milky Way galaxy lurks a supermassive black hole about four million times the mass of the sun, called ...

The researchers argue that there would've been too many supermassive black holes around during the early universe to support the theory that they were formed from the "direct collapse" of ...

Black holes are regions in space where an enormous amount of mass is packed into a tiny volume. This creates a gravitational pull so strong that not even light can escape. They are created when giant ...

Stellar-mass black holes typically form after a star goes supernova and collapses. However, the discovery of the first-ever triple black hole system, V404 Cygni, complicates that picture. This black ...

According to the hypothesis, the extreme distortions of space associated with black holes is linked, or coupled, to the ...
