At the center of a galaxy 10 billion light-years away, a supermassive black hole is the new record holder for brightest flare ...

The Hubble Space Telescope has imaged a "200,000 light-year-long trail of newborn stars" that may have been left behind by a ...

Scientists have spotted the brightest flare yet from a black hole. It was first spotted in 2018 by a camera at the Palomar Observatory in California.

Scientists record the clearest black hole collision signal yet, confirming Stephen Hawking’s key prediction about black hole ...

A distant black hole devoured a whole star and burped a massive light flare, as bright as 10 trillion suns. According to a ...

A ‘superflare’ 10 trillion times brighter than the Sun is confirmed as the record-holder for both luminosity and distance.

At the heart of the Milky Way, just 27,000 light-years from Earth, there is a supermassive black hole with a mass of more ...

Astronomers have spotted an apparent supermassive black hole snacking on a star 600 million light-years away, wandering through a galaxy with an even larger black hole at its core. The event, dubbed ...

The strong gravity of the black hole (shown as a small black dot at the center of the disk on the right) pulls gas from the companion star (left). As the gas spirals inward, it forms a ...

When two black holes collide and merge, they release gravitational waves. These waves can be detected by sensitive instruments on Earth, allowing scientists to determine the mass and spin of the black ...
