The oldest and most distant black hole known to scientists dates back 13.3 billion years ago, when our universe was still in its teething stage, according to findings published this month. The ...

This is the first confirmed case of a star that survived an encounter with a supermassive black hole and came back for more. This discovery upends conventional wisdom about such tidal disruption ...

Supermassive black holes may not be as massive as previously thought, according to a new discovery by scientists. Astronomers from the University of Southampton, working with colleagues from France, ...

A tiny particle that smashed into Earth with a record-shattering energy of 220 petaelectronvolts could be the last scream of an evaporating black hole. This would mean that high-energy neutrino events ...

It’s nearly 10 billion light-years away, and you won’t see it in the night sky, but the explosive collision of two massive black holes detected in 2023 has created a third one, with 225 times the mass ...

A black hole’s bizarre "heartbeat" is forcing astronomers to reconsider how these cosmic heavyweights behave. Observations of IGR J17091-3624 — a black hole in a binary system roughly 28,000 ...

AUSTIN (KXAN) — The most distant black hole ever confirmed has now been discovered. A team led by astronomers from the University of Texas at Austin announced the discovery of the black hole in the ...

Quantum computing’s potential has reached a new milestone with the simulation of a black hole. This achievement not only marks a significant advancement in computational physics but also provides new ...

Scientists say they detected the largest-ever merger of two black holes, forming one that is 225 times the mass of the sun, adding that the new discovery "pushes the limits of" how astronomers ...

Physicists have detected the biggest ever merger of colliding black holes. The discovery has major implications for researchers’ understanding of how such bodies grow in the Universe. “It’s super ...
