A new form of black hole archeology, linking spin to gas and dust, has revealed that these cosmic titans spin faster than ...

There's a universe full of black holes out there, spinning merrily away—some fast, others more slowly. A recent survey of supermassive black holes reveals that their spin rates reveal something about ...

Scientists Claim That Gravitational Waves Could Retrace the Origins of Black Holes in Dense Stars Black holes have always ...

Rather than relying on a cheek swab or a little blood, however, these cosmic DNA tests utilize tiny ripples in the fabric of ...

Gravitational waves are unlocking the origins of black holes, linking spin shifts to sequential mergers in star clusters.

A black hole infamous for strange features has once again baffled astronomers, this time with rapid X-ray flashes. What could they be?

Recent research suggests that supermassive black holes' spin rates, linked to their formation history, indicate growth primarily through steady matter consumption rather than galaxy mergers.

Using observations from 2017 and 2018, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration has advanced our understanding of the supermassive black hole at the center of Messier 87 (M87*). This study ...

A new analysis of M87*, the first black hole imaged by humanity, has revealed turbulence in the matter around it, which this ...

One supermassive black hole has kept astronomers glued to their scopes for the last several years. First came a surprise disappearance, and now, a precarious spinning act. The black hole in ...

Astrophysical jets from black holes play a key role in cosmic evolution, impacting star formation and revealing insights ...

Astronomers have witnessed a monster supermassive black hole erupting with a light-year-long jet traveling at one-third the speed of light. The size and spin of black holes can reveal how and ...
