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

Imagine waking up one morning to the news: a black hole is drifting close to our solar system. It sounds like the plot of a .

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

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

New research is shedding light on what researchers call "lite" intermediate-mass black holes, which are smaller, but still ...

Astronomers at the University of Hawaii uncovered black hole events so packed with energy, they were the biggest explosions ...

Using the XMM-Newton telescope, astronomers have witnessed high-speed "burps" erupting from a distant overfeeding supermassive black hole.

For years, scientists have theorized that some black holes could actually be wormholes, and a new study shows that this space-time mimicry could in fact be possible.

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 ...
