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 ...

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 ...

Scientists have made the most accurate predictions yet of the elusive space-time disturbances caused when two black holes fly closely past each other. The new findings, published Wednesday (May 14 ...

Astronomers have observed a supermassive black hole consuming a star outside a galaxy's center for the first time, challenging previous assumptions. The event, named "AT2024tvd," occurred 600 ...

What is Space Jaws? A covert black hole revealed itself to astronomers in 2025 with a spectacular burst of radiation known as ...

Physicists have built the first ever black hole bomb, a long-theorised phenomenon where energy is boosted by a black hole and trapped by surrounding mirrors until an explosion occurs. Thankfully ...

Through the looking glass: The discovery of a supermassive black hole not only challenges assumptions about where these galactic giants reside but also demonstrates the power of combining ...

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 ...

It wandered too close to a black hole and was ripped apart in a bright burst of light. That much isn’t unusual, but what stunned astronomers was where it happened: not in the dense center of the ...

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 ...
