Take a journey to 89 million light-years away from Earth to the NGC 7727 galaxy. It harbors the closest pair of supermassive ...

"Our findings pave the way for rigorous examinations of black holes and the exploration of new physics in gravity." Cosmic echoes from some of the universe's most violent collisions are far more ...

This black hole is about 400 million times the mass of the Sun, making it one of the biggest ever spotted at this early point in cosmic history. What’s even more startling is its relationship ...

The scientists studied a black hole system consisting of a stellar-mass black hole and a sun-like star orbiting each other. In this system, 5 or 6 jets occur over a period of about 20 days, making ...

Black holes, the densest objects in the universe, eat up anything that comes too close, even light. Is there anything left inside these behemoths that could reveal what they devoured in the first ...

A scientist from Tokyo Metropolitan University has solved the longstanding problem of a "dissonance" in gravitational waves emitted by a black hole. Using high precision computing and a new ...

For the first time, astronomers have confirmed the existence of a lone black hole — one with no star orbiting it. It’s “the only one so far,” says Kailash Sahu, an astronomer at the Space ...

After decades of inactivity, the black hole at the galaxy's heart burst with light. Now, the cosmic monster appears to be doing something that is forcing astronomers to re-evaluate their ...

Primordial black holes could inhabit the modern-day cosmos, making them responsible for the phenomenon of dark matter, according to new research. In the extremely early universe, primordial black ...

Discovery of extreme quasi-periodic eruptions in a newly accreting massive black hole. Nature Astronomy , 2025; DOI: 10.1038/s41550-025-02523-9 Cite This Page : ...

What can astronomers learn from observing black holes that suddenly wake up? This is what a recent study published in Nature Astronomy hopes to address as an international team of researchers ...
