The Latest Breaking News from Black Hole

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.

The largest known black hole jets, 23 million light years across, have been discovered in the distant universe. This pair of particle beams launched by a supermassive black hole is over a hundred times larger than our galaxy, the Milky Way.

Scientists have discovered the longest pair of jets streaming from a black hole in a distant galaxy

Astronomers have seen the largest jets ever found erupting from a black hole. The giant jet system Porphyrion is 23 million light-years long, equal to 140 side-by-side Milky Way galaxies.
