If our sun were replaced with a black hole of the same mass, our solar system would orbit similarly to how it does now, but it would be a lot colder. We don’t know what matter looks like inside ...

A tiny black hole may pass through our solar system once every ten or so years, researchers have suggested, and this could be detected by watching Mars wobble.

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.

If microscopic black holes born a fraction of a second after the Big Bang exist, then at least one may fly through the solar system per decade, generating tiny gravitational distortions.

But the black holes would have speeds of about 200 kilometers per second and come from outside the solar system. That’s rare for space rocks ( SN: 9/12/19 ).

"With the LSST catalog of solar system objects, our work shows that it will be like going from black-and-white television to brilliant color," said Joe Murtagh, a doctoral student at Queen's ...
