As physicist John Wheeler wittily explained this lack of distinguishing features: "black holes have no hair." "Black holes seem so exotic, but you can describe them completely with just two ...

A black hole is a celestial object that compresses a huge mass into an extremely small space. If the same were to happen to Earth, our planet would fit inside a thimble or a water bottle cap.

Ever since general relativity pointed to the existence of black holes, the scientific community has been wary of one peculiar feature: the singularity at the center — a point, hidden behind the ...

Astronomers have spotted a massive pair of jets releasing material from a distant black hole. The jets are so large they span about 140 Milky Way galaxies in length.

From a piece of cloth that may have belonged to Alexander the Great to an image of our galaxy's central black hole, here's our pick of controversial science stories in 2024.

The system lies about 8,000 light-years from Earth in the constellation Cygnus. It features one of the oldest known black holes, a beast nine times as massive as the sun that is sucking gas from a ...
