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, ...

Researchers using XMM-Newton and Chandra telescopes have linked X-ray emissions from 21 distant quasars to rapid supermassive ...

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".

Black holes don't have many identifying features. They come in one color (black) and one shape (spherical). The main ...

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, ...

Astronomers have stumbled upon a pair of massive black holes in a distant galaxy that are triggering unusual bursts of light ...
