The new black hole has more than 200 times the mass of our sun – and is challenging theories of how objects form in space ...

The massive black hole has been dubbed GW231123. Its unusual size and behavior is challenging scientists' understanding of ...

Scientists have revealed they’ve seen the cosmic equivalent of this – two black holes merging on the outskirts of our galaxy.

Chandra X-ray Observatory observations of the Perseus galaxy cluster's black hole and M87's jet have been turned into sound by SYSTEM Sounds. The Chandra team explains how it was done.

The satellites the world relies on for navigation, communication and more get their bearings from distant black holes – but ...

The colossal black hole lurking at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is spinning almost as fast as its maximum rotation rate.

At the core of the galaxy Messier 87 (M87), a cosmic behemoth is challenging preconceptions. Renowned for being the first black hole ever directly photographed, the supermassive black hole M87 has ...

But M87* also differs from Sgr A* as this more distant black hole is voraciously feeding. That feeding is responsible for the jets connected to high-energy flares, such as the gamma-ray eruption ...
