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

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

Black holes have kept astrophysicists awake at night since their theoretical conception. A new study explores singularity-free alternatives to these mysterious objects. Since Einstein formulated ...

A Sea of Black Holes: Characterizing the LISA Signature for Stellar-origin Black Hole Binaries. The Astrophysical Journal , 2025; 981 (1): 27 DOI: 10.3847/1538-4357/adad6b ...

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

The findings, published Monday in the journal Nature Astronomy, suggest that the black hole was born supermassive − roughly equal to 10 and 100 million suns − during the earliest era of the ...

Ever since general relativity pointed to the existence of black holes, the scientific community has been wary of one peculiar feature: the singularity at the center—a point, hidden behind the ...

Astronomers have confirmed a wandering black hole, about seven times the mass of the Sun, 5,000 light-years from ... 'Puzzling' bronze discs adorned with lion heads discovered in Roman-era grave.

An artist's illustration of the longest black hole jet system ever observed. Nicknamed Porphyrion after a mythological Greek giant, these jets span roughly 7 megaparsecs, or 23 million light- years.

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 ...
