The hungriest known black hole in the early universe has been found, thanks to teamwork between NASA's James Webb Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory. A fresh analysis of decades-old X ...
Black holes are points in space that are so dense they create deep gravity sinks. Beyond a certain region, not even light can escape the powerful tug of a black hole's gravity. And anything that ...
(This black hole dwells in a galaxy born around 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang — which is means it's relatively young. The universe is some 13.8 billion years old.) It's possible that ...
Black holes are regions in space where an enormous amount of mass is packed into a tiny volume. This creates a gravitational pull so strong that not even light can escape. They are created when giant ...
OK, that was a little click-baity, but then again, so was the announcement this week that a scientist had confirmed Hawking radiation with a lab-grown black hole. It sure got our attention ...
For the first time, physicists have observed a “black hole triple” in space. This new system is about 8,000 light years away from Earth and is made up of a central black hole that is in the ...
A surprising discovery about the black hole V404 Cygnus is expanding our understanding of black holes, the objects they can host, and the way they form. Many black holes detected to date appear to ...
