The Latest Breaking News from Black Hole

Cosmic discovery could shed light on black holes in distant galaxies

The Independent UK

Astronomers simulate a star's final moments as it's swallowed by a black hole: 'Breaks like an egg'

A neutron star's final moments may spark violent starquakes, monster shock waves, and even a fleeting, never-before-seen object called a black hole pulsar.

New research challenges everything we know about the Big Bang

A new theory has emerged, called the black hole universe, that offers a radically different view of cosmic origins

Facing steep funding cuts, scientists propose using black holes as particle colliders instead of building new ones on Earth

New calculations have revealed that the super-energetic jets produced by spinning black holes could be a source for elusive dark matter particles.

What if the Big Bang wasn’t the beginning? Our research suggests it may have taken place inside a black hole

The Big Bang is often described as the explosive birth of the universe – a singular moment when space, time and matter sprang into existence. But what if this was not the beginning at all? What if our universe emerged from something else – something more familiar and radical at…

Astronomers discover black hole ripping a star apart inside a galactic collision. 'It is a peculiar event'

Astronomers have spotted a supermassive black hole ripping apart and devouring a star in colliding galaxies. It is only the second time a tidal disruption event has been seen in interacting galaxies.

World's first color images of black holes are on their way

Astronomers with the Event Horizon Telescope have developed a new way to observe the radio sky at multiple frequencies, and it means we will soon be able to capture color images of supermassive black holes.

The rarest black holes in the universe may be 'wandering' our galaxy — but scientists don't know how to detect them

Dozens of 'wandering' black holes could be tumbling through our galaxy right now, new simulations hint. Their existence could help solve a longstanding cosmic puzzle.

Black hole dance illuminates hidden math of the universe

Scientists have made the most accurate predictions yet of the gravitational waves produced when two black holes fly past each other.

Why scientists are so excited about the highest-energy 'ghost particle' ever seen

Scientists have found a neutrino that could come from a gamma-ray burst, an active black hole or a collision between a cosmic ray and photons in the cosmic microwave background.

Death of the universe predicted to arrive much sooner using Stephen Hawking-inspired theory

Astrophysicists have proposed a new theoretical maximum lifespan for the universe, which suggests that dead stars are decaying much faster than previously thought. The estimate of stellar remnant decay is based on Stephen Hawking's famous black hole radiation theory.
