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.

Astronomers found evidence of multiple stellar-mass black holes lurking in the nearby Hyades cluster, just 150 light-years from Earth.

Researchers accidentally stumbled on a way to measure the size of the accretion disks of dust, gas and plasma that surround black holes.

Black holes can swallow matter, and they grow by accreting gas, dust and even the occasional star. But are they the vacuum-mouthed monsters they are often presented to be?

Black hole sun, won't you come? It all depends on a star's mass before it dies.
