Black holes, those cosmic objects from which even light cannot escape, remain by definition invisible to our eyes. How then ...

In November, the James Webb Space Telescope discovered a quickly expanding and “feeding” black hole, which is present in a galaxy known as the “little red dot” galaxy. “This discovery is truly ...

Our understanding of black holes, time and the mysterious dark energy that dominates the universe could be revolutionized, as new University of Sheffield research helps unravel the mysteries of the ...

Utilizing the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), researchers identified a supermassive black hole, LID-568, existing 1.5 billion years post-Big Bang, exhibiting accretion rates exceeding the Eddington ...

Astronomers suspect that the flare is a a burst of radiation that occurs when a black hole consumes a hapless star, ripping it apart and swallowing it. Astronomers are continuing to monitor the black ...

How did supermassive black holes end up at the center of every galaxy? A while back, it wasn’t that hard to explain: That’s where the highest concentration of matter is, and the black holes had ...

New gravitational wave findings from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration report the discovery of the largest black hole merger ever. It could lead to evidence of an extremely rare type of black hole.

Scientists spotted an enormous black hole in the early universe that's growing at 2.4 times the theoretical Eddington limit. Studying it further could help answer one of the biggest questions in ...

New research suggests future images of black holes could be precise enough to allow scientists to determine if these objects are accurately described by Albert Einstein's theory of gravity, general ...

The highest energy neutrino ever detected from space may finally have an origin story. Mathematical analyses suggest that the ghost particle could’ve come from a theoretical object known as a ...

In a recent piece for my column The Universe, I wrote about the biggest black holes in the cosmos. These can tip the scales at many billions of times the sun’s mass, outweighing even entire galaxies.
