The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered lonely quasars in the early universe, with "empty larders" that defy theories ...

Astronomers have used a range of telescopes, including Hubble, to watch as particles dance around a neutron star collision ...

The DESI survey reveals that active black holes in small galaxies are common. The findings may help reveal how the two cosmic bodies evolve together.

A recent study has proposed a new mechanism for the formation of primordial black holes that could provide answers about dark matter.

Astronomers have stumbled upon something truly remarkable: a black hole that's not just part of a binary system, but part of ...

Use precise geolocation data and actively scan device characteristics for identification. This is done to store and access ...

As we gaze into the universe, we've discovered most galaxies have a supermassive black hole lurking near the center.

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 ...

When black holes merge, what happens inside of them is anybody's guess. Black hole mergers are beautiful — and some of the most violent events in the cosmos. Here's how the process unfolds.

Black holes, with their event horizons trapping anything that enters, and accretion disks glowing from accumulated matter, ...

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 ...

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 ...
