A black hole is one of the most fascinating and mysterious phenomena in the universe.

Dec. 18, 2024 — Scientists have spotted a massive black hole in the early universe that is 'napping' after stuffing itself with too much food. Like a bear gorging itself on salmon before ...

There are large black holes at the center of just about every major galaxy, including our own. In 2022, an image was released ...

captured this image of the supermassive black hole in the center of the galaxy M87 and its shadow. Before scientists can investigate ultramassive black holes, they first have to determine where ...

M87 was the first black hole to be imaged, and now it's revealing details of how some elementary particles are accelerated by the universe's most extreme environments.

Scientists believe that at the heart of all large galaxies lurk supermassive black holes, cosmic titans with masses equivalent to that of millions or even billions of suns. Yet some black holes ...

The black hole is so enormous that it makes up roughly 40% of the total mass of its host galaxy: in comparison, most black holes in the local universe are roughly 0.1% of their host galaxy mass.

This artist’s concept takes a fanciful approach to imagining small primordial black holes. In reality, such tiny black holes would have a difficult time forming the accretion disks that make them ...

Inside the event horizon, gravity supersedes all other forces of nature. Black holes form when a huge amount of matter is squeezed into a very small space. Cram enough matter into a given radius ...
