An artist’s concept of a supermassive black hole, a surrounding disk of material falling towards the black hole and a jet containing particles moving away at close to the speed of light. This black ...

Mathematical quirks of our universe have led some cosmologists to wonder whether the cosmos was actually born in a black hole. Parallels in the physics of the universe and that of black holes have led ...

An artist's impression of GW250114, a powerful collision between two black holes observed by astronomers in unprecedented detail. - Aurore Simonnet (SSU/EdEon)/LVK/URI Astronomers have detected a ...

Artist representation of CAPERS-LRD-z9, home to the earliest confirmed black hole. The supermassive black hole at its center is believed to be surrounded by a thick cloud of gas, giving the galaxy a ...

Listen to more stories on the Noa app. To study the origins of our universe is to struggle with profound chicken-or-egg questions. We know the Big Bang happened. Cosmologists can see its afterglow in ...

Astronomers have found a black hole in the early universe that seems to be eating far faster than expected. It shines with record-breaking X-rays for its era and may help explain how some black holes ...

Some golfers wait their entire lives for a hole-in-one. The seasons change, one after the next. Their hair turns gray, their backs stiffen. They go from walking to riding—from the back tees to the ...

In a recent piece for my column The Universe, I wrote about the biggest black holes in the cosmos. These can tip the scales at many billions of times the sun’s mass, outweighing even entire galaxies.

New observations of M87*, the first black hole ever imaged, revealed that the supermassive blackhole has experienced several magnetic flips in the last decade. Reading time: Reading time 3 minutes In ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Black holes usually form from stars that burn out and collapse in on themselves, but that cannot explain the red spark of light that could be a ...

The younger black hole, the product of a cataclysmic cosmic event known as a black hole merger, was first spotted in 2019. Now, about 6 years later, a team of international researchers led by the ...

ABSTRACT: In this work, we investigate a possible conceptual link between torus-shaped black hole solutions of the vacuum gravitational field equations in (1 + 3)-dimensional general relativity and ...
