The Latest Breaking News from Black Hole

Star explosions called novas are happening twice as often near a gargantuan black hole jet as they are in the rest of the galaxy, and astronomers aren't sure why.

A 14-year Hubble Space Telescope study suggests the universe was teeming with supermassive black holes. But how could that be?

Using the Dark Energy Camera, astronomers discovered that black-hole-powered quasars in the early universe lived in dense neighborhoods, but were "bad neighbors."

A groundbreaking discovery of massive black hole jets challenges assumptions and sheds light on the universe's evolution. Learn about the largest jets ever...

"If there are lots of black holes out there, some of them must surely pass through our backyard every now and then."

Astronomers have discovered a "missing link:" a tiny black hole lurking with a red giant star in a strange and difficult-to-explain binary system.

The first results from JAXA's XRISM X-ray telescope are out, and they reveal new features of the superheated gas around a distant supermassive black hole and a closer supernova.

Tiny black hole "bullets" left over from the Big Bang could be passing through Mars at speeds in excess of 7,000 times the speed of sound, causing the Red Planet to "wobble."

New research suggests that black holes may actually be "frozen stars," bizarre quantum objects that lack a singularity and an event horizon, potentially solving some of the biggest paradoxes in black hole physics.

The British government has argued that a black hole exists in the public finances to the tune of £22 billion in this financial year. It claims that dealing with this will involve a period of fiscal restraint, which usually means spending cuts.
