Latest about Black holes
How 2 quasars at the dawn of time could be a Rosetta stone for the early universe
The two active supermassive black holes are the most distant pair of quasars ever seen and shed more light on how the universe transformed into what it is today.
At the heart of this distant galaxy lies not 1, but 2 jet-blasting black holes
The two black holes at the heart of the galaxy OJ 287 are true behemoths with masses of 18.35 billion and 150 million times the mass of our Sun.
12 billion years of black hole history, revealed through X-rays and simulations
New findings show the black hole at the heart of our Milky Way galaxy had a late growth spurt.
NASA telescope spots 'cosmic fireworks' and faint echos from the Milky Way's supermassive black hole
NASA's NuSTAR telescope found evidence of cosmic fireworks and X-ray echoes coming from the Milky Way's supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*.
Hubble Telescope maps high-speed 'burps' from nearby feeding supermassive black hole for 1st time
Hubble has mapped the outflow "burps" of a nearby feeding supermassive black hole-powered quasar for the first time, measuring speeds of 6.5 million mph, around 8,500 times the speed of sound.
'Supercharged rhino' black holes may have formed and died a second after the Big Bang
Tiny 'supercharged' black holes born just after the Big Bang may have been brief companions to primordial black holes, dying before the universe was a second old.
Could these black hole 'morsels' finally prove Stephen Hawking's famous theory?
Stephen Hawking suggested black holes "leak " and evaporate away — scientists could use "morsels" launched from catastrophic black hole collisions to prove it.
Elusive medium-size black holes may form in dense 'birthing nests'
A new simulation has shown elusive intermediate-mass black holes may form in dense globular clusters of millions of tightly packed stars, thanks to a chaotic collision chain.
If the Big Bang created miniature black holes, where are they?
Primordial black holes born from density fluctuations dating back to the Big Bang have been frustratingly elusive, but a new quantum clue has been discovered.
Black hole singularities defy physics. New research could finally do away with them.
Black hole singularities defy the laws of physics. New research presents a bold solution to this puzzle: Black holes may actually be a theoretical type of star called a 'gravastar,' filled with universe-expanding dark energy.
