Astronomers have spotted a supermassive black hole ripping apart and devouring a star in colliding galaxies. It is only the second time a tidal disruption event has been seen in interacting galaxies.

If you are a sci-fi junkie you’ve probably wondered what would happen if you were unlucky enough to fall into a black hole. How well you’d fare all depends on the type of black hole.

Goodbye singularity? New black hole models could solve Einstein puzzle. The research proposes alternative models for black holes, potentially eliminating the concept of singularities and offering ...

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 ...

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 ...

Located 5,000 light-years from Earth, this black hole is much closer than the supermassive one at the Milky Way’s center, which also lies in Sagittarius but about 27,000 light-years from us.

A black hole is a region of spacetime where gravity is so intense that nothing, no matter how much energy it has, can escape. Inside the event horizon, gravity supersedes all other forces of nature.

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.

A strange black hole is making scientists scratch their heads.. The distant object, dubbed "1ES 1927+654" and packing the mass of 1 million suns, previously stunned astronomers when its corona ...

2024 was a big year for black hole science, and Space.com was on duty all year to bring you every major development in our understanding of the universe's most fascinating entities.

Scientists have spotted a massive black hole in the early universe that is 'napping' after stuffing itself with too much food. Like a bear gorging itself on salmon before hibernating for the ...
