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 ...

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

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 ...

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 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 ...

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 is located in the early universe, existing just 800 million years after the big bang. It is also massive. At 400 million times the mass of our sun, ...

Black hole in the wall. The idea that the universe is in the interior of a black hole is decades old. It posits that the "'event horizon' (the boundary from within which nothing can escape a black ...

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.

Astronomers have discovered a black hole emitting energy in jets longer than the width of 140 Milky Way galaxies. An artist’s concept of Porphyrion, a jet of material 23 million light-years long ...
