Latest about Black Holes
1st detection of 'hiccupping' black hole leads to surprising discovery of 2nd black hole orbiting around it
Scientists found a monster black hole that 'hiccups' every 8.5 days, and a smaller black hole that keeps punching through its accretion disk may be to blame.
Scientists reveal largest map of the universe's active supermassive black holes ever created
A massive new 3D map of space includes more than 1 million supermassive black hole-powered quasars, which are among the brightest objects in the universe.
'Baby quasars' spotted by James Webb telescope could transform our understanding of monster black holes
Scientists think that by studying a cluster of "baby quasars," they can get a better understanding of supermassive black holes in the early universe.
Astronomers find heaviest black hole pair in the universe, and they've been trapped in an endless duel for 3 billion years
Two supermassive black holes spotted circling inside a remote 'fossil' galaxy are the heaviest, and the closest, black hole binary ever found.
Einstein's predictions mean rare 'gravitational lasers' could exist throughout the universe, new paper claims
A new study combining two of Albert Einstein's famous predictions suggests that ripples in space-time can combine into 'gravitational lasers', firing out of black holes in random directions across the cosmos.
Star-killing 'black hole wind' spotted in a distant galaxy could explain a major mystery at the Milky Way's center
For the first time, scientists discovered a powerful 'black hole wind' that blew through a nearby galaxy for hundreds of days, crushing star formation and reshaping the galaxy. Something similar may already have happened in the Milky Way.
Event Horizon Telescope spies gargantuan energy jets erupting from nearby supermassive black hole
Astronomers investigated an active supermassive black hole at the heart of Perseus A using the Event Horizon Telescope, spotting an epic battle between gravity and magnetism.
More than 900,000 stars, galaxies and black holes revealed in most detailed X-ray map of the universe ever
Scientists using the eROSITA X-ray telescope have released a trove of data that reveals more than 900,000 objects in space, including 700,000 supermassive black holes and other 'exotic' objects.
