How astronomers used gravitational lensing, a space-time trick predicted by Einstein, to detect a black hole measuring 30 billion times the mass of the sun.

Traditional black holes, as predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity, contain what are known as singularities, i.e. points where the laws of physics break down. Identifying how ...

Scientists have unlocked the 3D structure of molecular clouds in the Milky Way’s center, using a groundbreaking X-ray technique. These cosmic clouds, vital for star formation, were illuminated by past ...

The Largest 'Black Hole Jet' Discovered Is Estimated to Be Twice the Size of Our Milky Way We know black holes to be ...

Once the two galaxies are merged, the supermassive hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud – if black hole there is – will make its way to the galactic center, where it will eventually, after many more ...

The black holes rip the stars apart and consume their stellar debris — becoming more massive, Northwestern explained. This increases their gravitational pull and draws them together as they orbit..

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has captured stunning new details of the Cartwheel Galaxy, uncovering insights into star formation and its central black hole. This vibrant portrait of our Milky Way ...

Supermassive black holes can fuel their own growth by cooling and recycling gas, creating a continuous cycle of feeding and ...

Black holes are famous for being insatiable concentrations of gravity from which not even light can escape. And if they floated through space all on their lonesome, it might be the end of the story.

Space experts have uncovered a massive swarm of new supermassive black holes that could blow theories about galaxies wide open. A team of scientists using data from two NASA telescopes revealed ...

Saturday, Feb. 1, at 8 p.m., the Harry D. Powell Observatory will hold the “Black Holes in Space and on Earth” event created by Dr. Frank Hagelberg. Hagelberg, one of the presenters, describes the ...
