Image of the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration "has ...

Take a journey to 89 million light-years away from Earth to the NGC 7727 galaxy. It harbors the closest pair of supermassive ...

Researchers discovered a large black hole jet from the early universe, and it's reshaping what we know about the early universe.

Although the black holes themselves are invisible, the clouds of dust and gas around them can get extremely hot and glow brightly, enabling telescopes to ‘see’ the black hole in detail.

Black Holes Can Exist Without Singularities, Two New Models Suggest Alternatives to standard black holes suggest that maybe there’s no need for a singularity.

A black hole bomb – an idea first proposed in 1969 – has now been realised in the lab as a toy model made from a rotating cylinder and magnetic coils. Studying the bomb could help us better ...

What Are Black Hole Supermazes? Supermazes come from M-theory, an umbrella idea that includes multiple versions of string theory, in which our universe contains 11 dimensions—not just the four ...

In 1974, Stephen Hawking proposed that black holes could evaporate. But do we understand how this might happen?

Quickly moving primordial black holes might leave tiny holes in regular matter as they tunnel through, leaving traces we might find.

To find black holes we usually have to look thousands of light-years away. But a new study suggests we could find evidence of them right here on Earth, as tiny tunnels they’ve carved out in ...

Supermassive black hole binary emits unexpected flares Their orbit periodically takes them through a cloud of gas, triggering flares.

For decades, a black hole with as much spin or charge as possible, given its mass, was considered mathematically impossible. A new proof reveals otherwise.
