New research is shedding light on what researchers call "lite" intermediate-mass black holes, which are smaller, but still ...

"We would need to consider the possibility that the source was created (or trapped as a primordial black hole) by a highly ...

Black holes are expected to be the last giant objects left in the universe, but even they will slowly shrink and disappear ...

Chandra X-ray Observatory observations of the Perseus galaxy cluster's black hole and M87's jet have been turned into sound by SYSTEM Sounds. The Chandra team explains how it was done.

A powerful new technique is poised to revolutionize how astronomers observe black holes, by producing sharp, multicolored ...

The scientist pointed out that this is an exciting time, not only for studying black holes but also for combining scientific research with the new era of space and lunar exploration. It presents a ...

Among the most studied black holes are those in the galaxy known as M87 and one at the center of our own. With this finer lens, researchers hope to uncover subtle details about their behavior.
