Black holes spew out powerful jets that span millions of light-years – we’re trying to understand their whole life cycle

There is a supermassive black hole at the centre of nearly every big galaxy – including ours, the Milky Way (it’s called Sagittarius A*). Supermassive black holes are the densest objects in the universe, with masses reaching billions of times that of the Sun.

Evidence for Stephen Hawking's unproven black hole theory may have just been found — at the bottom of the sea

The recent discovery of a stupendously powerful neutrino has left scientists scratching their heads. New research suggests it could be evidence that Stephen Hawking was right about the nature of black holes and the early universe.

Unproven Einstein theory of 'gravitational memory' may be real after all, new study hints

Einstein's theory of general relativity suggests that the "memory" of ancient events, such as black hole mergers, may be etched into the fabric of space-time by gravitational waves. New research shows how this theory of gravitational memory could finally be proven.

'Einstein's equations need to be refined': Tweaks to general relativity could finally explain what lies at the heart of a black hole

Black hole singularities should not exist, according to theories of quantum mechanics. New tweaks to Einstein's equations of general relativity could finally do away with them, and explain what truly lies at the heart of a black hole.

'Cosmic Horseshoe' may contain black hole the size of 36 billion suns — one of the largest ever detected

The "Cosmic Horseshoe" is an Einstein ring, a system made up of a foreground galaxy whose mass is so great, it warps the light from a galaxy behind it. Now, astronomers know where it gets this mass from.

Quantum effects make distant objects move together: new research finds this may happen with ripples in space

Galaxies, planets, black holes: to most people, everything about our Universe sounds and feels enormous. But while it’s true that much of what happens millions of light years away is large, there are also processes happening at the quantum end of the scale. That’s the branch of science which explains…
