"The key result is that while many alternatives look very similar to the 'standard' black hole at today's image quality, the ...

At the center of a galaxy 10 billion light-years away, a supermassive black hole is the new record holder for brightest flare ...

Scientists have spotted the brightest flare yet from a black hole. It was first spotted in 2018 by a camera at the Palomar Observatory in California.

A ‘superflare’ 10 trillion times brighter than the Sun is confirmed as the record-holder for both luminosity and distance.

At the heart of the Milky Way, just 27,000 light-years from Earth, there is a supermassive black hole with a mass of more ...

Scientists record the clearest black hole collision signal yet, confirming Stephen Hawking’s key prediction about black hole ...

An illustration of a supersized black hole resulting from the merger of two smaller black holes. The collision has caused the black hole to ring and radiate gravitational waves (white). Disclaimer: ...

A distant black hole devoured a whole star and burped a massive light flare, as bright as 10 trillion suns. According to a ...

A supermassive black hole, several million solar masses, has been discovered at the center of the GN-z11 galaxy, existing approximately 400 million years post-Big Bang. The black hole's accretion disk ...

The strong gravity of the black hole (shown as a small black dot at the center of the disk on the right) pulls gas from the companion star (left). As the gas spirals inward, it forms a ...
