"This discovery challenges the common belief that black holes formed in star clusters always have randomly distributed spins." "Roses are red. Violets are blue. Your event horizon means I can't ...

"The higher the spin, the more energy the black hole can release." Black holes may leak more energy to their surroundings than previously suspected — and the faster these voids spin, the more ...

It is a terrifying scenario straight out of science fiction. So, what would happen if you were struck by a primordial black hole? We already know that coming into contact with a stellar-mass ...

Take a journey to 89 million light-years away from Earth to the NGC 7727 galaxy. It harbors the closest pair of supermassive ...

Asteroid-mass black holes are less than a micrometer across, so even the tidal forces would cover a tiny area. If one passed through your midsection or one of your limbs, there might be some local ...

Illustration: NASA, ESA, CSA, Ralf Crawford (STScI) The black hole at the center of our galaxy is experiencing a flurry of flares, ranging from flickers to brilliant eruptions, according to a team ...

A rare instance of a supermassive black hole merger has been observed, resulting in a black hole exhibiting an unusually high proper motion. The New Scientist reported that this event holds ...

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 ...

Feb. 19, 2025 — Within the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument's early data, scientists have uncovered the largest samples ever of intermediate-mass black holes and dwarf galaxies hosting an ...

Ultra-self-interacting dark matter clumped into supposedly enormous masses that collapsed in on themselves and created the supermassive black holes in these quasars. Scientists formulated a ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has recorded never-before-seen images of the hot disc swirling around the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy. It found the disc constantly ...
