How astronomers used gravitational lensing, a space-time trick predicted by Einstein, to detect a black hole measuring 30 billion times the mass of the sun.

Physicists are grappling with the inconsistencies of singularities in black hole models and exploring new theories.

Astronomers have used the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to revisit a misunderstood black hole thought to be gulping matter 40 times faster than the theoretical limit. It turns out, dust may ...

A team of scientists has confirmed the existence of a solitary black hole drifting through the Milky Way, unaccompanied by any orbiting star. The finding, published in the Astrophysical Journal marks ...
