Dozens of 'wandering' black holes could be tumbling through our galaxy right now, new simulations hint. Their existence could ...

Besides particles like sterile neutrinos, axions and weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs), a leading candidate for ...

Some stars streaking through the Milky Way at millions of kilometers per hour probably trace back to a supermassive black ...

NTNU researchers may have found the answer to one of the big, unanswered questions in physics. The universe is full of ...

Astronomers searching for massive black holes shredding stars found one in an unusual place -- 2,600 light years from the core of a galaxy. The roque black hole may be from an earlier merger with ...

NASA has made a jaw-dropping discovery deep in space — black holes acting like cosmic “death stars” shooting energy beams across the universe. Using the Chandra X-Ray Observatory and the Very Large ...

The Milky Way is often referred to as a medium-sized galaxy in the universe, with approximately 200 million stars and a massive black hole at its center, which recently started to shoot in all ...

Quasars are a state when a supermassive black hole at the core of a galaxy is feeding at such a rate that it ends up spewing out more than it can chew. The material can glow so bright that it ...

Caltech’s Katie Bouman explains how the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration captured the first imager of the Sagittarius A* Supermassive black hole at the core of the Milky Way galaxy - Milky Way vs ...

Scientists have predicted enigmatic space-time disruptions that occur, when two black holes pass close to one another, with greater accuracy than before. Published in the journal Nature on ...

Apr. 9, 2025 — Scientists have discovered key conditions needed for a stellar black hole to create plasma jets. Their findings show that when superheated gas material experiences a rapid ...
