But in the past two decades, new types of black holes have been seen and astronomers are beginning to understand how they ...

Particles orbiting a black hole could collide at colossal energies, generating collision products that may offer valuable ...

At cosmological scales, Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity has given scientists an immensely accurate blueprint ...

The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible,” Albert Einstein once pondered. But even as ...

Black holes are expected to be the last giant objects left in the universe, but even they will slowly shrink and disappear ...

Chandra X-ray Observatory observations of the Perseus galaxy cluster's black hole and M87's jet have been turned into sound by SYSTEM Sounds. The Chandra team explains how it was done.

A powerful new technique is poised to revolutionize how astronomers observe black holes, by producing sharp, multicolored images that could reveal their dynamic evolution in real time.

Scientists have uncovered new evidence helping to understand intermediate-mass black holes, thought to be the rare “missing links” in black hole evolution.

In a major leap forward, scientists, using the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), have captured the sharpest images yet of distant galactic centers. Using light at a frequency of 345 GHz, they’ve ...

A series of studies sheds light on the origins and characteristics of intermediate-mass black holes.

In the world of black holes, there are generally three size categories: stellar-mass black holes (about five to 50 times the mass of the sun), supermassive black holes (millions to billions of ...
