A black hole bomb – an idea first proposed in 1969 – has now been realised in the lab as a toy model made from a rotating ...

Einstein believed that black holes didn't really exist. But they do: that much we know. We don't know much else about them.

The energy source behind both quasars and microquasars is the spin of the black hole itself. As they gradually give up this ...

An curved arrow pointing right. Fans of "Interstellar" take note: Astronomers might have just discovered a black hole similar to the one in Christopher Nolan's film. And the discovery coincides ...

This galaxy's central black hole appears to be a "messy eater" as its interstellar scraps are strewn into space. A distant galaxy is home to a ravenous supermassive black hole that appears to be ...

Astronomers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have discovered evidence that suggests the presence of a long-sought supermassive black hole at the heart of the nearby spiral galaxy ...

An curved arrow pointing right. Much of the film Interstellar is centered around the existence of a wormhole and black hole, which happen to be two of the most perplexing things in the universe.

Black holes are bounded by outer barriers called event horizons that prevent us from ever viewing their interiors or their hearts, singularities at which all known laws of physics collapse.

The photo suggests that interstellar 'scraps' of matter are being strewn into space as the hungry black hole chows down on its dinner. "At the very center of nearly every galaxy is a supermassive ...

A distant galaxy is home to a ravenous supermassive black hole that appears to be playing with its food in a lively new image from the Very Large Telescope. The photo suggests that interstellar ...
