Using the Japanese-led X-ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM), astronomers have taken a deep look into a fascinating ...

The M87 galaxy is home to a supermassive black hole that has a plasma jet that is nearly 3000 light years long. In addition, ...

How astronomers used gravitational lensing, a space-time trick predicted by Einstein, to detect a black hole measuring 30 ...

A recent study in Physical Review Letters explores quantum effects on black hole thermodynamics and geometry, focusing on ...

Black holes are points in space that are so dense they create deep gravity sinks. Beyond a certain region, not even light can escape the powerful tug of a black hole's gravity. And anything that ...

Peculiar James Webb Space Telescope observations seem to show gargantuan black holes in the earliest moments of the universe. New research may explain how they formed, thanks to primordial "seeds".

Scientists may have uncovered how supermassive black holes, forming mere hundreds of millions of years after the Big Bang, ...

For decades, astronomers have puzzled over how the supermassive black holes residing in the center of galaxies form. Now, ...

Scientists developed a new model, which provides mathematical evidence that singularities are hidden inside black holes.

At a singularity, the laws of physics as we know them suffer a complete breakdown. So such objects really shouldn’t exist.

Black hole coronae are billions of degrees hot, which makes them a lot more difficult to study in detail. Using NASA’s IXPE ( ...

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger ...
