But in the past two decades, new types of black holes have been seen and astronomers are beginning to understand how they ...

At the heart of most large galaxies, including our own Milky Way, lurks a supermassive black hole. These cosmic giants ...

Earlier this year, new research suggested a potential solution to one of the most troubling aspects of modern physics — that "singularities" seem to exist at the hearts of black holes. The idea of the ...

Black holes were thought to arise from the collapse of dead stars. But a Webb telescope image showing the early universe hints at an alternative pathway.

A team of astrophysicists have found flares of light in Sagittarius A*, a supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way.

Scientists cannot explain how a giant supermassive black hole with the mass of one billion of our suns existed so soon after the birth of the universe.

The supermassive black hole M87*, which rose to fame in 2019 when it became the first void to be imaged and revealed a fuzzy orange donut (then later sharpened by AI into a skinny ring), is now ...

Black holes have captivated scientists for more than a century. How well do you know these supermassive wonders of the universe?

There are three types of black holes, all born in different ways. But even the largest black holes can’t dominate the rotation of a galaxy.

This would then result in a rogue interstellar black hole just roaming through space. "There also could be a black hole on the edge of the solar system," Smethurst said.

Scientists studying the earliest black holes may have found an explanation for dark matter, putting Stephen Hawking’s theory on the subject back into the spotlight.

After more than two decades of collaboration between over 20 international telescope, scientists discovered that a nearby supermassive black hole is spinning.
