The findings provide new perspectives on the origins of supermassive black holes from smaller "seeds." According to current ...

The theory goes that black holes accrete material, often from nearby stars. However the theory also suggests there is a limit to how big a black hole can grow due to accretion and certainly shouldn’t ...

Scientists using observations from NASA's Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory have discovered, for the first time, the signal from a pair of monster black holes disrupting a cloud of gas in the center of a ...

This illustration shows a red, early-universe dwarf galaxy that hosts a rapidly feeding black hole at its center. Using data ...

Scientists using observations from NASA’s Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory have discovered, for the first time, the signal from ...

Some stars may transform into black holes without exploding into supernovae. Now, astronomers have finally spotted it as it ...

As we gaze into the universe, we've discovered most galaxies have a supermassive black hole lurking near the center.

Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) can have billions of solar masses, and observational evidence suggests that all large ...

The kilonova briefly mimicked the conditions immediately following the Big Bang, and allowed scientists to confirm the source ...

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

Massive stars about eight times more massive than the sun explode as supernovae at the end of their lives. The explosions, ...
