Astronomers have confirmed a wandering black hole, about seven times the mass of the Sun, 5,000 light-years from Earth.
The infant universe's population of huge black holes could owe itself to ultralight dark matter, scientists say.
While it's much smaller than the largest supermassive black holes detected, it's still a whopper considering how early in the ...

More recently, they ran simulations, finding that for the light to bend around a black hole this way, it would have to measure roughly the same mass as 30 billion Suns, making it big enough to be ...
It is called a black hole, because it acts like an ideal black body, as it reflects no light. According to the theory of ...
But would these "primordial" black holes still exist, roughly 14 billion years after the big bang? Surprisingly, the answer depends on the number of spatial dimensions in the universe. And the ...
