Monster black holes entered the cosmic scene soon after the Universe’s birth and grew rapidly, reaching millions or even ...

A new study suggests that during a potential phase of primordial matter domination, particle interactions may have led to the formation of the universe’s first compact cosmic objects. Less than a ...

Active galactic nucleus (AGN) black hole 10 billion light-years away, J2245+3743, made the biggest and brightest flare ever ...

For the first time ever, astronomers have imaged two black holes orbiting each other, finally offering visual proof for the existence of black hole pairs. Spotted through the faint fluctuations of ...

This is the first confirmed case of a star that survived an encounter with a supermassive black hole and came back for more. This discovery upends conventional wisdom about such tidal disruption ...

The oldest confirmed black hole formed when the universe was a mere infant, within 500 million years of the Big Bang, researchers report. The James Webb Space Telescope, or JWST, saw the enormous ...

The two black holes were there in the image, just where they were expected to be. This gave the researchers an answer to a question that has been open for 40 years: whether black-hole pairs exist in ...

For the first time, scientists observed a black hole tearing apart a star far from its galaxy’s center, producing the fastest-changing radio signals ever recorded. The event, AT 2024tvd, revealed ...

Lightning might not strike twice, but black holes apparently do. An international group of researchers led by Tel Aviv University astronomers observed a flare caused when a star falls onto a black ...

Physicists have detected the biggest ever merger of colliding black holes. The discovery has major implications for researchers’ understanding of how such bodies grow in the Universe. “It’s super ...

For the first time, astronomers have managed to capture a radio image showing two black holes orbiting each other. The observation confirmed the existence of black hole pairs. In the past, astronomers ...
