A collision observed between two black holes, each more massive than a hundred suns, is the largest merger of its kind ever ...

The new black hole has more than 200 times the mass of our sun – and is challenging theories of how objects form in space ...

Astronomers have detected the signal of a colossal black hole in deep space that likely formed when two already-large black ...

A short-lived ripple in space-time revealed that two black holes merged into a giant black hole with the mass of 225 suns ...

An international team of physicists discovered the largest-ever merger of 2 black holes through a phenomenon known as gravitational waves.

Two colossal black holes—among the most massive ever seen—collided in deep space, creating gravitational waves that rippled across the cosmos and shook the foundations of astrophysical theory.

But you might be surprised to learn that making these measurements—using the science of geodesy—depends on tracking the ...

Black hole singularities defy the laws of physics. New research presents a bold solution to this puzzle: Black holes may actually be a theoretical type of star called a 'gravastar,' filled with ...

In 1976, Stephen Hawking rocked the astrophysics world with his discovery that black holes aren't entirely black. Instead, they emit tiny amounts of radiation and, given enough time, can give off ...

The black hole is located in the early universe, existing just 800 million years after the big bang. It is also massive. At 400 million times the mass of our sun, ...

Immediately, a black hole forms in its core, which then sucks in the surrounding material, quickly plumping up to a mass of over 1,000, or even 10,000, times the mass of the sun.

Black holes were thought to arise from the collapse of dead stars. But a Webb telescope image showing the early universe hints at an alternative pathway. Skip to content Skip to site index.
