Scientists have discovered that some supermassive black holes rotate much more rapidly than expected. The discovery came as ...

Yet, having accurate numbers is important if we want to ... "The key is to look at the innermost region, where gas is falling into the black hole's event horizon. A spinning black hole drags ...

A small black hole would plunge straight into the event horizon ... teetering on the black hole’s edge without falling in. To cause the fluctuations that astronomers observed, the orbiting ...

This number had previously been ... “If too much falls toward a black hole, it starts coughing up the excess and firing it back out into the galaxy. That can disperse gas clouds within the ...

The researchers explored a number ... star will not fall in. While the black hole's gravity may pull the white dwarf inward, the star is also shedding part of its outer layer into the black ...

Ten years after "Interstellar" hit theaters, NASA is now giving us a more personal experience of what would happen if we were ...

The team found that about 35% of the supermassive black holes they studied are obscured by their surrounding gas and dust. That finding indicates that the number of hidden black holes is larger ...

The shedding of that material, the researchers say, provides a kick-back force in the opposite direction, preventing the white dwarf from falling into the black hole. While there could be other ...

But there is an option for a truly invisible object in that mass range, and one that would have been around since near the beginning and that's the primordial black hole (PBH). These days ...
