Researchers at MIT suggest that the microscopic "primordial black holes" could be blasting through our solar system at least once a decade.
The latest discovery used the Hubble Space Telescope (HST) to spot three bright, visible light 'hot spots' deep inside a pair of colliding galaxies.
Although our Universe may seem stable, having existed for a whopping 13.7 billion years, several experiments suggest that it is at risk - walking on the edge of a very dangerous cliff.
Dark matter could provide supermassive black holes the brakes they need to bring them crashing together at the end of a long, spiraling journey towards their destiny.
Astronomers have found evidence for an intermediate-mass black hole in IRS 13, a population of dusty stellar objects within the nuclear star cluster of our Milky Way Galaxy.
An international team of astronomers has detected seven fast-moving stars in Omega Centauri region. These stars provide compelling new evidence for the presence of an intermediate-mass black hole.
A black hole discovered lurking in the Cosmic Dawn is just way too big to easily explain.
In late 2019 the previously unremarkable galaxy SDSS1335+0728 suddenly started shining brighter than ever before. To understand why, astronomers have used data from several space and ground-based observatories.
Astronomers discovered the first pair of merging quasars from the Cosmic Dawn, 900 million years after the Big Bang.
New research demonstrated a possible formation mechanism of intermediate-mass black holes in globular clusters, star clusters that could contain tens of thousands or even millions of tightly packed stars.
The researchers say that these black holes mergers are a window into Hawking Radiation. When black holes merge, they may create so-called "morsel" black holes the size of asteroids that are ejected into space.
It turns out that certain black holes act just like the terrifying sci-fi battle station, spinning around to fire giant beams at various targets in the cosmos.
An international team of astronomers have used the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope to find evidence for an ongoing merger of two galaxies and their massive black holes when the Universe was only 740 million years old.
The University of Amsterdam created the black hole event horizon to study the behaviour of a black hole in an controlled environment.
The largest stellar black hole in the Milky Way galaxy has been found by the European Space Agency’s Gaia mission. And it is extraordinarily close to Earth.
