A strange black hole is making scientists scratch their heads. The distant object, dubbed "1ES 1927+654" and packing the mass of 1 million suns, previously stunned astronomers when its corona ...

A cosmic mystery surrounding a black hole some 270 million light-years from the Milky Way is deepening. For years, astronomers have been perplexed by this particular supermassive black hole ...

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 ...

There’s a pretty hot party raging in the black hole at the center of our galaxy. Using new observations from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), a team of astrophysicists found that the ...

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 ...

William Alston, Senior Lecturer in Data Science at the University of Hertfordshire's Center of Astrophysics, has detected unprecedented periodic X-ray pulses from the supermassive black hole 1ES ...

Expect the unexpected In this artist’s rendering, a stream of matter trails a white dwarf orbiting within the innermost accretion disk surrounding 1ES 1927+654’s supermassive black hole. (Courtesy: ...

For example, any primordial black hole smaller than 10 12 kg would have already evaporated thanks to Hawking radiation. Anything larger than 10 20 kg would gravitationally lens stars in the Milky Way.

The team behind new research on the topic suggests that measuring whether gravitational waves from black hole mergers are right- or left-handed can tell us if the Cosmological Principle — an ...

Scientists announced Tuesday that the telescope had given scientists the longest and most detailed glimpse thus far of the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy.

More precisely, the team behind the simulation discovered that binary black hole pairs formed in dense star clusters first align their spins before coming together and merging. The discovery could ...
