For the first time, astronomers have managed to capture a radio image showing two black holes orbiting each other. The observation confirmed the existence of black hole pairs. In the past, astronomers ...

Forbes contributors publish independent expert analyses and insights. An award-winning reporter writing about stargazing and the night sky. Astronomers have detected what may be the most massive black ...

Black holes are places where gravity is so powerful that nothing — not even light — can escape. Rather than being empty, black holes are chock full of matter that gets squeezed into a teensy space.

Some things in cosmology may simply be unknowable. Why is there something rather than nothing? What lies outside the universe? What is inside a black hole? That last one has been niggling at ...

Black holes are one of the universe’s most enigmatic phenomena. They defy our understanding of physics, challenging our perceptions of reality with their extraordinary characteristics. As astronomers ...

Researchers believe the 'ultramassive' black hole is big enough to be the largest of its kind ever detected. Black holes are regions of space where the pull of gravity is so intense that even light ...

The black hole was bigger than expected, and while the answer was hiding in plain sight, it still rewrites what we thought was possible. Reading time 4 minutes When LIGO broke news of an ...

Physicists may soon witness a cosmic fireworks show: the explosive death of a primordial black hole. Once thought to be unimaginably rare, new research suggests there’s up to a 90% chance of catching ...

Astronomers detected a black hole displaced nearly a kiloparsec from the center of a dwarf galaxy 230 million light-years away. Unlike most, it is actively feeding and producing radio jets, making it ...

Astronomers examining data from the James Webb Space Telescope say they’ve spotted what might be the oldest black hole in the universe, born less than a second after the Big Bang. Their findings, ...

Astronomers suspect that the flare is a a burst of radiation that occurs when a black hole consumes a hapless star, ripping it apart and swallowing it. Astronomers are continuing to monitor the black ...

Some people may worry about being bitten by a snake or spider, but have you ever considered what would happen if a small black hole tried to pass through your body? An article by Professor of Physics ...
