Black holes may seem like interstellar enigmas, but they hold some key lessons on how to move through the universe.

There are three types of black holes, all born in different ways. But even the largest black holes can’t dominate the rotation of a galaxy.

An elusive type of black hole has been discovered in a neighboring galaxy for the first time, according to a new study based on observations from the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO’s ...

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.

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 recently used artificial intelligence to fine-tune the first-ever image of a black hole, captured in 2019 by the Event Horizon Telescope.

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 ...

Supermassive black hole found only half a billion years after Big Bang There just isn't time for something that big to grow from a supernova remnant.

When black holes merge, what happens inside of them is anybody's guess.

It's the first time a "dormant" black hole has been unambiguously detected outside the Milky Way, the researchers say.
