Astronomers confirm a wandering black hole in our galaxy’s Sagittarius region using Hubble and Gaia microlensing data.

Without a buddy, this black hole made itself known through a different mechanism, called gravitational microlensing.

A black hole, seven times the mass of the Sun and located nearly 5,000 light-years away, has been confirmed as the first to ...

Astronomers have confirmed a wandering black hole, about seven times the mass of the Sun, 5,000 light-years from Earth.

While solitary black holes should be common, they are hard to find. The one in Sagittarius revealed itself when it passed in front of a dim background star, magnifying the star’s light and slowly ...

A distant galaxy that lay quiet for decades has suddenly stirred, lighting up in dramatic bursts that have caught astronomers off guard. This unexpected awakening, traced to a black hole at the galaxy ...
