Scientists identify faint black holes in galaxies that formed during the early days of the universe, using imagery from the ...

NASA's Chandra X-ray space telescope spotted the supermassive black hole attacking a second star with the remains of a fresh "kill" like the star of the Halloween franchise.

An international team of astronomers has observed GS-10578, nicknamed "Pablo's galaxy," a massive galaxy almost identical to ...

Black holes are points in space that are so dense they create deep gravity sinks. Beyond a certain region, not even light can escape the powerful tug of a black hole's gravity. And anything that ...

A supermassive black hole shredded a star, causing eruptions linked to tidal disruptions. Study revealed these eruptions ...

Here’s how it works. Astronomers have spotted the largest twin jets ever seen erupting from a black hole. The jets stretch for around 23 million light-years, well beyond the limits of their host ...

The first moving images of a black hole could reveal swirls of plasma and collapsing stars, deepening our understanding of the universe.

An artist’s impression of an orbiting star crashing through the accretion disc around a supermassive black hole and causing a burst of X-rays, with (inset) detection of X-rays (purple ...

The team used data from Nasa’s Chandra X-ray Observatory, the Hubble space telescope and Nasa’s Neutron Star Interior ...

A mind-bending hypothesis is gaining traction among scientists: The universe may be teeming with microscopic black holes the size of an atom, but with the mass of a city-sized asteroid.

Black holes are among the oddest objects believed to populate the universe. Long sought, they have recently been "found" lurking in the centers of galaxies, tipping the scales at a million to a ...

Black holes are regions in space where an enormous amount of mass is packed into a tiny volume. This creates a gravitational pull so strong that not even light can escape. They are created when giant ...
