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

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.

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 ...

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 ...

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.

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 ...

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.

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 ...

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope spotted a supermassive black hole in an unexpected place, 2,600 light-years from the galaxy's core.

The black hole, which sits about 16,000 light-years from Earth in the center of star cluster Omega Centauri, is at least 8,200 times as massive as the sun, putting it squarely in a rare category ...

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 ...
