New research suggests it could be evidence that Stephen Hawking was right about the nature of black holes and the early universe.

"A particle in the vicinity of a rotating black hole will orbit it at a speed close to the maximum allowed by the laws of physics, the speed of light in a vacuum, which has a value of 300,000 km/s ...

A rare instance of a supermassive black hole merger has been observed, resulting in a black hole exhibiting an unusually high proper motion. The New Scientist reported that this event holds ...

Astronomers have uncovered compelling evidence of the closest supermassive black hole outside of our own Milky Way galaxy. Nestled within the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), one of our nearest galactic ...

According to new research now available, it is predicted as to how the LRG 3-757 obtains the mass required to bend light - from a giant, ultramassive black hole sitting right in its center In an ...

WASHINGTON, March 6 (Reuters) - The Large Magellanic Cloud is a dwarf galaxy residing near our Milky Way, visible to the naked eye as a luminous patch of light from Earth's southern hemisphere and ...

The black hole at the Milky Way’s heart neither slumbers nor sleeps. Instead, the ring of plasma surrounding it flickers constantly, punctuated by superbright flares, observations show.

Researchers are uncertain about how this black hole formed. Possible explanations include past galaxy mergers ejecting nearby stars, powerful jets preventing new star formation, or the black hole ...

Theoretical physicists have proposed a potential solution to one of the most puzzling problems in modern physics: the black hole singularity paradox. By modifying Einstein's theory of general ...
