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 ...

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 ...

Astronomers searching for massive black holes shredding stars found one in an unusual place -- 2,600 light years from the core of a galaxy. The roque black hole may be from an earlier merger with ...

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.

A bomb from a black hole would probably be the most destructive weapon in the universe. Now Hendrik Ulbricht of the ...

Among the events it can identify are tidal disruption events, where a star gets spaghettified by the enormous gravity of a ...

"The appearance of such structures sheds new light on the sorts of mathematical objects that nature is built from." ...

Astronomers have caught a black hole far from the center of its galaxy ripping a star to shreds — offering for the first time evidence of a rogue supermassive black hole in action.

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.

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 ...
