Black holes that turn matter into energy could explain dark energy and answer two other cosmic questions. Now, the challenge ...

University of Oregon astronomer Yvette Cendes made a surprising discovery years after a black hole shredded a star. What is ...

A subtle gravitational-wave “hum” from merging black holes may help settle the cosmic fight over how fast the universe is ...

A massive star 2.5 million light-years away simply vanished — and astronomers now know why. Instead of exploding in a supernova, it quietly collapsed into a black hole, shedding its outer layers in a ...

The Hubble Space Telescope's evidence of an "intermediate-sized" black hole about 6000 light-years away in the closest ...

Astronomers have discovered a black hole in the early universe, ID830, growing thirteen times faster than physics allows, defying cosmic rules and challenging long-held theories of black hole ...

LOFAR’s LoTSS-DR3 survey maps 13.7 million radio sources, revealing black hole jets, supernovas, galaxy clusters and new details about magnetic fields in the Milky Way and beyond ...

Scientists say an ultra-powerful neutrino once thought impossible may be explained by an exotic black hole model involving a so-called “dark charge.” ...

Webb telescope data confirm a supermassive black hole fleeing its galaxy, carving a 200,000 light-year wake of new stars.

In 1974, physicist Stephen Hawking described the potential for tiny, primordial black holes that existed at the dawn of time to explode — and reshaped what we knew about these cosmic behemoths.

An ancient, fast-feeding quasar is breaking the rules of how black holes consume matter and generate galaxy-shaping jets.
