James Webb Space Telescope sees lonely supermassive black hole-powered quasars in the early universe
The James Webb Space Telescope has discovered lonely quasars in the early universe, with "empty larders" that defy theories surrounding their growth to monster sizes.
The '3-body problem' may not be so chaotic after all, new study suggests
Scientists studying the infamous 3-body problem have discovered certain "islands of regularity" that emerge from the gravitational chaos.
Black holes from the universe's infancy could reveal invisible matter
New theoretical research suggests primordial black holes could one day help researchers locate invisible dark matter.
There were more black holes in the early universe than we thought, Hubble research reveals
New research can help us understand how supermassive black holes formed — and why many of them appear to be more massive than expected.
Black hole 'blowtorch' is causing nearby stars to explode, Hubble telescope reveals
Star explosions called novas are happening twice as often near a gargantuan black hole jet as they are in the rest of the galaxy, and astronomers aren't sure why.
A 'primordial' black hole may zoom through our solar system every decade
"If there are lots of black holes out there, some of them must surely pass through our backyard every now and then."
Stephen Hawking's black hole radiation paradox could finally be solved — if black holes aren't what they seem
New research suggests that black holes may actually be "frozen stars," bizarre quantum objects that lack a singularity and an event horizon, potentially solving some of the biggest paradoxes in black hole physics.
The Milky Way's supermassive black hole is spinning incredibly fast and at the wrong angle. Scientists may finally know why.
Observations from the Event Horizon Telescope may reveal a secret merger in our supermassive black hole's past, potentially explaining the cosmic monster's unusual spin.
