black holes

Scientists modeled how black holes and neutron stars form after dying stars collapse, and explained why some get a hard 'kick' into interstellar space.

New research suggests that if tiny primordial black holes created during the Big Bang exist, some of them may have been snared by stars and are now forced to eat their way out.

Space photo of the week The Gemini South telescope captured the chaotic aftermath of a billion-year-old collision between two spiral galaxies — and their super-close supermassive black holes.

Researchers may have finally figured out how fast-spinning black holes lose energy in the form of enormous energy jets after taking a closer look at the supermassive black hole M87*.

The newly identified quasar, observed 13.7 billion light-years away by the James Webb Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory, could be an example of a heavy black hole "seed" in the early universe.

Contrary to conventional wisdom, a pair of black holes could exist in perfect pairs without leading to a cataclysmic merger, new research suggests. All it takes is a dose of cosmic expansion.

Researchers have used a special crystal to bend the trajectory of light like a black hole would, a phenomenon known as 'pseudogravity.'

A team of astronomers has used a tricky technique to study an ancient galaxy previously lost in the glare of a blazing quasar.

Studying the mysterious form of matter around ancient quasar galaxies could have profound implications for our understanding of how the cosmos evolved.
