An international team of astronomers has discovered the first tidal disruption event (TDE) producing bright radio emission ...

Stars often fall into black holes, and now it seems the opposite can also occur, producing an extra long-lasting explosion as ...

The supermassive black hole at the center of the Circinus galaxy is being fed with gaseous material by two spiral arms, ...

For 50 years, astronomers have been searching for evidence of winds emanating from the black hole Sagittarius A*. Now, they ...

Scientists have simulated how M87*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy M87, powers its immense particle ...

Astronomers studying the supermassive black hole M87*, a behemoth six and a half billion times the mass of the Sun, have uncovered a new way these cosmic monsters unleash their power.

The GWTC 4.0 catalog records 128 new gravitational wave signals, revealing mergers of black holes and neutron stars detected by LIGO.

In a recent piece for my column The Universe, I wrote about the biggest black holes in the cosmos. These can tip the scales at many billions of times the sun’s mass, outweighing even entire galaxies.

The younger black hole, the product of a cataclysmic cosmic event known as a black hole merger, was first spotted in 2019. Now, about 6 years later, a team of international researchers led by the ...

Mathematical quirks of our universe have led some cosmologists to wonder whether the cosmos was actually born in a black hole. Parallels in the physics of the universe and that of black holes have led ...

One of the first black holes ever imaged is even stranger than we thought, new images of its dramatically changing environment reveal. The object, known as M87*, has experienced unexpected changes in ...

A black hole analog could tell us a thing or two about an elusive radiation theoretically emitted by the real thing. Using a chain of atoms in single file to simulate the event horizon of a black hole ...
