Despite weighing about a million times the mass of our sun, the black hole wasn't found at the center of its host galaxy, ...

Using NASA 's Hubble Space Telescope and other observatories, astronomers found the cosmic object in an unexpected place.

Among the events it can identify are tidal disruption events, where a star gets spaghettified by the enormous gravity of a ...

Like a scene out of a sci-fi movie, astronomers using NASA telescopes have found "Space Jaws." Lurking 600 million ...

NASA has released three new pieces of cosmic sound that are associated with the densest and darkest members of our universe: ...

They have successfully simulated the 'Black Hole Bomb' theory in a lab. This theory, proposed in the 1970s, explores tapping into a black hole's rotational energy. The experiment involved a ...

New research challenges the long-accepted notion of singularities in black holes — the point where physics allegedly breaks ...

The laws of general relativity suggest that it is possible for an object to have such a density that nothing, not even light, can escape. That is a black hole. There are a few defining ...

In the early universe, primordial black holes could acquire a "dark charge," giving them an unnaturally long lifetime, new research suggests. This makes them an interesting candidate for dark matter.
