A February 2023 study by Farrah et al. proposes a connection between supermassive black holes and dark energy, suggesting ...

Black holes are some of the scariest, strangest and most horrifying objects in the Universe. This video explores what would ...

Most black holes, regardless of their size, are born when a giant star runs out of energy. The star implodes, and its center collapses under its own weight. This causes an explosion called a supernova ...

A bizarre, record-breaking neutrino detected in 2023 may have originated from an exploding primordial black hole—a relic from the early universe. Scientists suggest these black holes could carry a ...

Nearly every massive galaxy observed hosts a supermassive black hole at its center. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has discovered that some of these supermassive black holes may even be too big for ...

Black holes are often portrayed as cosmic gluttons that swallow everything that comes too close. But new observations of a dramatic black hole outburst—led by Warwick Postdoctoral Fellow Dr. Noel ...

Black holes represent some of the most extreme environments in the universe. They are the sources of the strongest gravitational fields, allowing us to test Einstein's theory of general relativity to ...

In the fall of 2002, scientists calculated the mass of a truly gargantuan entity at the heart of our Milky Way galaxy. It was four million times the mass of our Sun — so big it almost certainly had to ...

A black hole observed during a dramatic 2023 eruption did not simply devour gas from its nearby companion star. It also expelled large amounts of material through powerful jets and winds, even after ...

There are black holes that are too big to be born from the death of a star but aren’t quite supermassive either. There’s finally evidence for where those came from. The evolutionary theory of stars ...

A runaway black hole leaving a streak of new stars in its wake. James Webb Space Telescope / van Dokkum et al. Last year, astronomers were fascinated by a runaway asteroid passing through our Solar ...
