Astronomers searching for massive black holes shredding stars found one in an unusual place -- 2,600 light years from the core of a galaxy. The roque black hole may be from an earlier merger with ...
Astronomers have spotted an apparent supermassive black hole snacking on a star 600 million light-years away, wandering through a galaxy with an even larger black hole at its core.
Now, astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have observed a black hole in the act of devouring a star, ripping it apart and creating a huge burst of radiation.
Long sought-after for its relative rarity, Whitman's The Black Hole #4 is part of their continuation of the story from the Disney film.
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 ...
The James Webb Space Telescope has shown that the Milky Way’s black hole is constantly blazing with light, releasing long flares as well as short flashes every day.
Observations from NASA's Chandra X-ray telescope and the VLT have revealed jets blasting from supermassive black holes cause gas to cool and fall toward them in a cosmic feeding process.
Some scientists think black holes are back doors to other universes. If true, this theory could explain how all of the matter in our universe was created.
But the team's main finding was that black hole masses are indeed the fundamental quantities that drive cool gas content in galaxies. How do supermassive black holes kill galaxies?
Scientists cannot explain how a giant supermassive black hole with the mass of one billion of our suns existed so soon after the birth of the universe.
A NASA astrophysicist simulated what it would look like to fall into a black hole, according to Einstein's theory of general relativity.
