The massive black hole has been dubbed GW231123. Its unusual size and behavior is challenging scientists' understanding of ...

The powerful merger, designated GW231123, produced an extremely large black hole about 225 times the mass of our Sun.

But in the past two decades, new types of black holes have been seen and astronomers are beginning to understand how they ...

The study calculated how large a hollow planetoid could be without collapsing in on itself, and the likelihood of a primordial black hole passing through an object on Earth. (If you’re worried about a ...

To put their own minds at ease, the researchers also calculated the likelihood that one of these tiny black holes would strike Earth and found it would only happen roughly once in a billion years.

Imagine the formation of a black hole and you’ll probably envision a massive star running out of fuel and collapsing in on itself. Yet the chaotic conditions of the early universe may have also ...
