An international team of astronomers has successfully demonstrated a new technique to observe especially faint black holes by ...

Astronomers have discovered two massive black holes in a galaxy 2 billion light-years away. This marks the first time one of ...

While it's much smaller than the largest supermassive black holes detected, it's still a whopper considering how early in the history of the universe it appeared.

An experimental setup mimics a “black hole bomb” first theorized in 1971. The spinning cylinder with circuitry is true to the ...

A black hole bomb – an idea first proposed in 1969 – has now been realised in the lab as a toy model made from a rotating ...

Intriguingly, ultralight dark matter might be able to turn into photons (light) — and it's through this process that the research team hopes to eradicate molecular hydrogen and allow gas clouds to ...

A lonely black hole roaming the cosmos in solitude has been confirmed for the first time. A closer look has revealed the dark object's identity, after much hubbub.

Astronomers have detected a rare black hole outside a galaxy’s core devouring a star in the first known offset tidal ...

Hubble spots a rogue black hole ripping a star outside its galaxy’s center in the first known offset TDE, led by Dr. Yuhan Yao's team.

The telescope has offered an unprecedented view of a supermassive black hole at the center of a quasar as it munches material in space. "We think most black holes form from violent explosions of ...

But they can’t hide their gravity! The first hint of a rogue black hole came when it passed in front of a dim background star in 2011. Black holes have so much gravity that they visibly warp the ...
