What If. What If a Black Hole Is Already in Our Solar System? Posted: November 9, 2024 | Last updated: November 9, 2024 "Something strange is happening on the outskirts of our Solar System.

If microscopic black holes born a fraction of a second after the Big Bang exist, then at least one may fly through the solar ...

A “planet-mass” black hole could exist with a mass of between five and ten times that of our own planet. Being a black hole, the object would be much, much smaller than Earth, and the ...

Weirdly enough, the black hole is small enough for Unwin and Scholtz to include a 1:1 diagram of it in their paper, released on preprint website arXiv. At that size though, it may be impossible to ...

With 3.2 billion pixels and a decade-long search, the Rubin Observatory will reveal what’s been hiding in plain sight.

Are tiny black holes zipping through our solar system? Scientists hope to find out. Scientists have studied black holes with the mass of a star for decades.

The solar system of the far future is safe from a run-in with a runaway dead star. Last year, researchers looked at the trajectory of a rogue white dwarf star called WD 0810–353 with the Gaia ...

The first, very expensive, way to find a black hole in the solar system would be to send 100 specially-equipped spacecraft, as proposed by Edward Written, and Scott Lawrence and Zeeve Rogoszinski ...

According to Smethurst, there may be black holes roaming around the universe, with one lurking even in the outskirts of our solar system. "A lot of stars formed in clusters," she said.

Before that, astronomers took black-and-white images of celestial objects using telescopes on Earth. If you were a kid in the 1960s, you grew up with the first images taken on the moon .

As noted above, this solar system is old. That means the white dwarf (called WDJ2147-4035) and its surrounding solar system formed, and died, before the sun and Earth were even born.

A diagram showing how distant solar system objects have aligned orbits, suggesting something else causing it. If the mystery object were a primordial black hole, however, it would be far smaller.
