Could our galaxy actually be inside a black hole? New research seems to suggest this possibility. NASA's James Webb Telescope discovered that the rotation of the galaxies goes against what ...

Scientists have detected radio signals from hot gas surrounding a supermassive black hole that existed 12.9 billion years ago, according to new research published in Nature Astronomy from an ...

Black holes—areas of space where gravity is so strong that not even light can escape—have long been objects of fascination, with astrophysicists, theoretical physicists and others dedicating ...

Astronomers have detected an erupting supermassive black hole producing some of the largest jets ever seen bursting from a galaxy with the same shape as our own. The galaxy in question also ...

"Black holes are so stealthy that this one has been practically under our noses this whole time." The galaxy next door to the Milky Way, the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC), could be hiding a ...

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 ...

While large galaxies host central supermassive black holes (SMBH) as a rule, dwarf galaxies like the LMC are more mixed. Astronomers have speculated about it containing a black hole, but the data ...

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.

PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — There are plenty of weird things floating around in space and black holes may be the weirdest. They’ve certainly sparked and stretched our imaginations, even in popular ...

Primordial black holes are the earliest black holes thought to exist, and they vanished almost as fast as they came into being. As Stephen Hawking predicted, black holes don’t only draw ...

Feb. 19, 2025 — Within the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument's early data, scientists have uncovered the largest samples ever of intermediate-mass black holes and dwarf galaxies hosting an ...
