Black holes are fascinating objects. They're unimaginably dense: If Earth was (hypothetically) crushed into a black hole, it ...

A team of astrophysicists, led by scholars from the Institute for Advanced Study, has developed an innovative technique to ...

Astronomers continue to stress the value of X-ray science as NASA's flagship Chandra X-ray telescope remains on the chopping ...

Scientists have found the "hungriest" black hole that is "feasting" on matter faster than experts previously thought possible ...

Primordial black holes may be exploding throughout the universe. If we can catch them in the act, it could pave the way to ...

Black holes are dark, matter-devouring balls of gravity. Most of them are so far away that we don't need to worry about them. But not this one. Meet Gaia BH1. This enormous black hole sits right ...

A recent study has proposed a new mechanism for the formation of primordial black holes that could provide answers about dark matter.

The DESI survey reveals that active black holes in small galaxies are common. The findings may help reveal how the two cosmic bodies evolve together.
