In the vastness of the Universe, some discoveries remind us how much we still have to learn. A recent study on Cosmic ...

Scientists have discovered an extraordinarily massive black hole weighing an astounding 36 billion solar masses, challenging ...

Astronomers say they've discovered one of the most masssive black holes ever discovered in the Cosmic Horseshoe.

A supernova (bright spot at lower left) and its host galaxy (upper center), as they would appear if gravitationally lensed by an intervening black hole (center). The gravitational field of the ...

The "Cosmic Horseshoe" is an Einstein ring, a system made up of a foreground galaxy whose mass is so great, it warps the ...

In a study published March 11 in the scientific journal Physical Review Letters, two researchers applied quantum mechanics to ...

A video showing how Astronomers used gravitational lensing to discover a black hole 30 billion times the mass of the sun in a galaxy 2 billion light years away. Video still - black hole - mass too ...

Astronomers have discovered a record-breaking ultra-massive black hole, weighing 36 billion solar masses, at the heart of the ...

It's titled "Unveiling a 36 Billion Solar Mass Black Hole at the Centre of the Cosmic Horseshoe Gravitational Lens," and the lead author is Carlos Melo-Carneiro from the Instituto de Física ...

For example, any primordial black hole smaller than 10 12 kg would have already evaporated thanks to Hawking radiation. Anything larger than 10 20 kg would gravitationally lens stars in the Milky Way.
