But in the past two decades, new types of black holes have been seen and astronomers are beginning to understand how they ...

Astronomers have witnessed a distant supermassive black hole devouring its surrounding matter so rapidly that it is "burping" out excess mass at nearly a third of the speed of light.

A pair of stars orbiting one another has been found near the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* using the European ...

Astronomers have discovered extraordinarily powerful X-ray jets blasting from two supermassive black holes that are so ancient that the jets shine in the afterglow of the Big Bang.

ENTs occur when stars that are at least three times as massive as the Sun pass so close to a supermassive black hole that its ...

The scientists who precisely measure the position of Earth are in a bit of trouble. Their measurements are essential for the ...

Gravitational waves stretch and squeeze the fabric of space and time itself. When space/time is squeezed, pulsar pulses ...

Particles orbiting a black hole could collide at colossal energies, generating collision products that may offer valuable ...

A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge computing. Scientists have used a powerful neural network trained with ...

Traditionally thought to go silent after a brief flare of activity, some black holes are now being observed emitting new bursts of energy years after devouring a star—"the equivalent of a cosmic burp, ...

These are rare occurrences—scientists estimate that the giant black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy gobbles a star ...
