First-ever image of two black holes captured orbiting each other, confirming a decades-old theory using a powerful radio telescope.

Black holes, with their cosmic vacuum cleaner meme in hand, have captured the imagination of scientists and the general public in approximately equal numbers for centuries. But imagine those dark ...

How much does a black hole change in a year? Scientists may now have an idea, after taking a fresh look at the first-ever black hole to be imaged — the supermassive black hole M87*, , which resides at ...

This artist’s impression illustrates the mechanism that could be at the origin of the powerful bursts of X-ray light seen from a newly awakened black hole named Ansky. ESA; ACKNOWLEDGEMENTS: ATG ...

Astronomers have discovered the oldest and most distant black hole — a behemoth that likely formed at the dawn of the universe, more than 13 billion years ago. The black hole lies at the center of a ...

A consensus is emerging that the dots, sometimes called rubies, are an entirely new type of object in the Universe.

"This is amongst the top 10 most massive black holes ever discovered, and quite possibly the most massive." About 5 billion light-years away from where you're sitting, in one of the most massive ...
