Webb Telescope detected a possible direct collapse black hole between two merging galaxies called the "Infinity Galaxy." ...

In May 2019, astronomers picked up something strange in the fabric of spacetime. The LIGO and Virgo detectors recorded a gravitational wave that lasted just one-tenth of a second.

According to the equations that govern black holes, the larger one of these cosmic behemoths is the lower its average density ...

Most supermassive black holes lurk in the nuclei of galaxies, surrounded by stars and glowing with haloes of superhot matter, which swirls inward until it eventually vanishes into a gravitational ...

Black holes are so strange that physicists have long wondered if they are quite what they seem. Now we are set to find out if ...

On human timescales, the universe may as well be eternal. It’ll be here long after our species and our planet are gone, but ...

Researchers propose that black holes may emit dark energy, possibly explaining the universe's accelerating expansion.

One of the most epic cosmic explosions ever seen may have been caused by a black hole infiltrating a star and destroying it ...

Scientists spotted an enormous black hole in the early universe that's growing at 2.4 times the theoretical Eddington limit. Studying it further could help answer one of the biggest questions in ...

A provocative new theory suggests that the Universe may not have begun with a traditional Big Bang, but rather as a “Big Bounce” — the explosive rebound of matter collapsing into a black hole. Led by ...

"Very massive stars are like the 'rock stars' of the universe — they are powerful, and they live fast and die young." Very massive stars that collapse to create black holes may vomit out much more ...

"This black hole could then grow and consume the entire planet, turning it into a black hole with the same mass as the original planet." New research suggests that dark matter could gather over vast ...
