At 225 solar masses, this gargantuan merger of two black holes challenges our thinking on these famously elusive objects.

Hawking radiation, a theoretical prediction arising from the interplay between quantum mechanics and general relativity, posits that black holes emit thermal radiation due to quantum effects near ...

Everything about the Infinity Galaxy, recently discovered by the JWST, is strange. One odd feature could be the 1st evidence of a "direct collapse" black hole.

Scientists say humans could indeed enter a black hole to study it. Of course, the human in question couldn’t report their findings—or ever come back. The reason is that supermassive black ...

A record-breaking black hole smash-up just expanded our view of the universe’s most extreme inhabitants. Is our cosmos just a membrane on the edge of a far stranger reality? These black holes ...

A collision observed between two black holes, each more massive than a hundred suns, is the largest merger of its kind ever recorded, according to new research.

Gravitational waves spotted by LIGO reveal two black holes, 140 and 100 times the mass of the sun, merged to become a 225 solar mass behemoth.

Gravitational-wave detector LIGO spots fast-spinning ‘forbidden’ black holes that challenge physics models.

Lightning might not strike twice, but black holes apparently do. An international group of researchers led by Tel Aviv University astronomers observed a flare caused when a star falls onto a black ...

With the discovery of Infinity Galaxy, researchers believe they have found evidence of a direct collapse black hole by examining JWST data.

A death-defying star survived destruction by a ravenous supermassive black hole in a tidal disruption event, and came back to let the cosmic titan take another bite!

Astronomers have detected the most massive black hole merger ever observed, challenging stellar evolution and black hole formation theories.
