Astronomers may have found a rare intermediate-mass black hole outside galaxy NGC 6099—offering clues about how bigger black holes form.

Scientists working to study black holes use specific radio frequencies to track black holes, the same frequencies often used by phones and wifi.

When so much of anything accretes into one small place in space, it may all eventually collapse in on itself creating cosmic enigmas we know as black holes. That should include light, but now new ...

Astronomers have used NASA’s powerful James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to uncover black holes secretly devouring stars in galaxies full of dust. These violent star-shredding events, known as ...

Astronomers suspect the giant black hole at the heart of the Milky Way may have collided with another black hole in just the past 10 million years. At the core of the galaxy, about 26,000 light ...

They represent a crucial missing link in black hole evolution between stellar mass and supermassive black holes," said lead author Yi-Chi Chang of the National Tsing Hua University, Hsinchu, Taiwan.

Astronomers at MIT, Columbia University, and elsewhere have used NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to peer through the dust of nearby galaxies and into the aftermath of a black hole's ...

Astronomers confirmed the first case of a star surviving a black hole encounter, challenging long-held beliefs about tidal disruption events.

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 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!

Yes, science proves it's possible to safely jump into a black hole. But if you're going to try it, you need to know this one small catch.

Deep in the woods in Livingston, Louisiana, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO), detected a massive black hole collision. Although it only took less than a 10th of a second, ...
