New data from NASA's Nuclear Spectroscopic Telescope Array, or NuSTAR, has, for the first time, begun to pinpoint large numbers of the black holes sending out the high-energy X-rays.
Astronomers working with the European Space Agency's (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile have just announced that a black hole-observing device called GRAVITY is now fully operational and it's has already provided one accurate measurement.
Astronomers have presented one of the most complete models of matter in the universe and predict hundreds of massive black hole mergers each year observable with the second generation of gravitational wave detectors.
Signal was produced by two black holes colliding 1.4 billion light years away.
Now, some astronomers are beginning to think that dark matter is actually made up of ancient black holes formed during the first second of our universe's existence.
Remove the singularity and a wormhole appears in the center of a black hole -- but is it traversable?
Scientists are solving one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in galaxy evolution. Scientists have uncovered a new class of galaxies, called "red geysers," with supermassive black hole winds so hot and energetic that stars can't form.
It's about 660 million times as massive as our sun, and a cloud of gas circles it at about 1.1 million mph. This supermassive black hole sits at the center of a galaxy dubbed NGC 1332, which is 73 million light years from Earth.
Three colliding spiral galaxies 1.8 billion light years from Earth have produced a monster black hole weighing in at 3 billion times the mass of the Sun
Astronomers find a monster black hole 17 billion times more massive than the sun, raising suspicions supermassive black holes may be more common than first thought.
A newly deployed space telescope has struck pay dirt almost immediately, discovering a quasar - a superheated region of dust and gas around a black hole - that is releasing jets at least seventy times hotter than was thought possible.
Alien rays from outer space, which pass through our bodies every second of every day, have been traced to their source – a super-massive black hole that lies at the heart of our home galaxy, the Milky Way, German and Australian scientists have discovered.
Using a computer simulation, astronomers probe the ‘cosmic web’ of the universe, its honeycomb-like structure on the largest scales.
Scientists in the U.K. share a five-dimensional black hole simulation model that could ‘break’ the general relativity of Albert Einstein, the very foundation of modern physics.
