Recently, physics professor Robert Scherrer crunched the numbers to figure out what would happen if a low-mass black hole ...

"The key result is that while many alternatives look very similar to the 'standard' black hole at today's image quality, the differences grow predictably as imaging resolution and fidelity improve, ...

"If this turns out to be real, then it’s enormous." ...

A new physics paper suggests that tiny “primordial” black holes could theoretically pass through the human body — with larger ones causing serious harm — but scientists stress the chances of such an ...

This week is black hole week, and NASA is celebrating by sharing some stunning visualizations of black holes, including a frankly disturbing visualization to help you picture just how large a ...

To Earthlings gazing into space, our solar system appears to be surrounded by billions of stars in the Milky Way. But if we look even further out, would it be possible to find evidence that we were in ...

This is an artist's impression of a runaway supermassive black hole that was ejected from its host galaxy as a result of a tussle between it and two other black holes. As the black hole plows through ...

A monstrous black hole in a distant galaxy has earned itself a nickname worthy of a science-fiction horror movie for its gluttonous feasting on any stars that dare get near. Meet "Space Jaws." NASA ...

Scientists may have found "the most hellish place in the Universe" after discovering the fastest black hole on record. The team from the Australian National University, led by associate professor ...

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 ...
