Black holes have kept astrophysicists awake at night since their theoretical conception. A new study explores singularity-free alternatives to these mysterious objects. Since Einstein formulated ...

A powerful new technique is poised to revolutionize how astronomers observe black holes, by producing sharp, multicolored ...

The findings, published Monday in the journal Nature Astronomy, suggest that the black hole was born supermassive − roughly equal to 10 and 100 million suns − during the earliest era of the ...

Ever since general relativity pointed to the existence of black holes, the scientific community has been wary of one peculiar feature: the singularity at the center—a point, hidden behind the ...

"We would need to consider the possibility that the source was created (or trapped as a primordial black hole) by a highly ...

This black hole, with a mass 6.5 billion times that of our sun, was the subject of the first image of such an object ever obtained, released in 2019, with another black hole pictured last year.

A Sea of Black Holes: Characterizing the LISA Signature for Stellar-origin Black Hole Binaries. The Astrophysical Journal , 2025; 981 (1): 27 DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/adad6b ...

An artist's illustration of the longest black hole jet system ever observed. Nicknamed Porphyrion after a mythological Greek giant, these jets span roughly 7 megaparsecs, or 23 million light- years.

Astronomers have confirmed a wandering black hole, about seven times the mass of the Sun, 5,000 light-years from ... 'Puzzling' bronze discs adorned with lion heads discovered in Roman-era grave.

Black holes are points in space that are so dense they create deep gravity sinks. Beyond a certain region, not even light can escape the powerful tug of a black hole's gravity. And anything that ...
