The passing gravitational waves “stretch or contract the universe by around 20 meters [about 65 feet] or so,” says Matthew ...

"Interestingly, the quasar powering this massive radio jet does not have an extreme black hole mass compared to other quasars ...

Researchers said on Thursday that they had discovered twin-lobed radio jets they suspect were formed when the universe was ...

For the first time, researchers have found evidence that even microquasars with low-mass stars can efficiently accelerate ...

and new research suggests an analogous ancestry test for black holes. Rather than relying on a cheek swab or a little blood, however, these cosmic DNA tests utilize tiny ripples in the fabric of ...

Black holes do not have many defining characteristics that can help astronomers trace back their origins. Fortunately, new ...

Researchers using the Event Horizon Telescope have significantly advanced our understanding of the supermassive black hole at ...

After decades of study, scientists sound genuinely optimistic about the possibility of detecting primordial black holes, which might explain dark matter.

Researchers aren’t sure why this relatively small black hole was able to produce such a huge jet, or why other similar black holes don’t create huge jets of their own. It’s also rare to see ...

The Milky Way can be seen as something of a bully, having devoured many smaller galaxies to achieve its vast mass, and ...
