The James Webb Space Telescope has shown that the Milky Way’s black hole is constantly blazing with light, releasing long flares as well as short flashes every day.

Astronomers have captured for the first time the shadow of a black hole and the powerful jet of material emerging from it in a new image released on Wednesday.

A black hole bomb – an idea first proposed in 1969 – has now been realised in the lab as a toy model made from a rotating cylinder and magnetic coils. Studying the bomb could help us better ...

One of my favorite celestial objects in the universe is the black hole. Granted, I'm an astrophysicist. But I know I'm not alone. People love black holes. They seem to hold a near-mythic status in ...

While sifting out signatures of supernova remnants, a high-schooler stumbled upon the afterglow of a dormant black hole. It may be one of the largest ever seen.

The type of black hole that’s sitting in the center of a galaxy is different. This is a supermassive black hole, or SMBH, and — as its name implies — it’s much heftier.

Astronomers have seen the largest jets ever found erupting from a black hole. The giant jet system Porphyrion is 23 million light-years long, equal to 140 side-by-side Milky Way galaxies.

What we don't have is a really good understanding of what might happen once the black hole leaves the galaxy. It turns out that we had started modeling this back in the 1970s for the wrong reasons.

The investigation of LID-568, however, has just begun. Astronomers want to know how this black hole broke its Eddington limit, which means more viewing with the Webb telescope.

It's the first time a "dormant" black hole has been unambiguously detected outside the Milky Way, the researchers say. Jackson Ryan was CNET's science editor, and a multiple award-winning one at ...

But could a black hole consume the entire universe, piece by piece? In short, no. There's no way that a black hole could eat the universe, or even an entire galaxy, according to NASA.Here's why.
