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

Watch an animation of a black hole shooting jets of particles through a "collapsing star at nearly the speed of light" and emit "x-rays and gamma rays (magenta)," according to NASA's Goddard Space ...

Particles orbiting a black hole could collide at colossal energies, generating collision products that may offer valuable ...

With the recent first light milestone for the Vera Rubin Observatory, it's only a matter of time before one of astronomy's most long-awaited surveys begins. The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) ...

"Theories involving substantial formation of stars prior to or together with the black hole formation and growth are very ...

At cosmological scales, Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity has given scientists an immensely accurate blueprint ...

The search for dark matter requires all the best models, theories, and ideas we can throw at it. A new paper by Julia Monika ...

Supermassive black holes usually lurk unseen, but when an unlucky star drifts too close they ignite titanic outbursts brighter than 100 supernovae. By mixing NASA, ESA, and ground-based data, ...

A distant supermassive black hole has stunned astronomers by expelling matter at speeds nearing a third of light velocity after consuming material at an extreme rate.

A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge computing. Scientists have used a powerful neural network trained with ...

Very Large Telescope observations of the galaxy revealed that there was likely a “sudden awakening of the massive black hole at its core,” according to the European Southern Observatory (ESO ...
