A strange black hole is making scientists scratch their heads.. The distant object, dubbed "1ES 1927+654" and packing the ...

The intense gravity of a black hole forces matter into an incredibly small (relatively speaking) space, so they are incredibly dense. For example, there's a supermassive black hole in the center ...

What's behind black hole 'fireworks,' according to scientists A team of astrophysicists have found flares of light in Sagittarius A*, a supermassive black hole in the center of the Milky Way.

If this much solar mass in a young universe was annually being forever lost into the gaping maw of a black hole, it would be less unusual.Yet according to D'Eugenio, "galaxies as massive as this ...

If microscopic black holes born a fraction of a second after the Big Bang exist, then at least one may fly through the solar system per decade, generating tiny gravitational distortions.

A team of scientists used the James Webb Space Telescope to peer through the veil of dust surrounding a faraway supermassive black hole, revealing that energy around the hole comes from jets of ...

For the first time, physicists have observed a “black hole triple” in space.This new system is about 8,000 light years away from Earth and is made up of a central black hole that is in the act ...

The black hole begins as a dark and stealthy object, but when a star passes too close it gets pulled in by the black hole’s gravity and is stretched, or, to use the technical term ...

The black hole theory is only one potential explanation for why most galaxies appear to rotate clockwise. The other is that the Milky Way's rotational velocity is affecting the measurements.

And, once a supermassive black hole gets big enough, its event horizon is so far out that stars can pass through it before they get disrupted, and all the energetic release would take place inside ...

Despite their destructive forces, black holes are often seen in with a companion, such as a star, neutron star, white dwarf, or even another black hole. However, a study published Oct. 23 in ...

Black holes get their name from their immense gravitational pulls, which are so powerful that not even light can escape. If a black hole does not give away its existence — for instance, by ...
