In any other year, the supermassive black hole mentioned above would probably scoop the award for most striking outburst, but not in 2025. This year, that accolade goes to a flare designated ...

Three merging galaxies host three active black holes, offering rare insight into galaxy and black hole growth.

APM 08279-5255 is a massive black hole (quasar) that contains about 140 trillion times the amount in all of Earth’s oceans ...

Black holes are dark, matter-devouring balls of gravity. Most of them are so far away that we don't need to worry about them.

Astronomers have confirmed the first known triple system in which all three galaxies host actively feeding, radio-bright ...

A supermassive black hole that’s 10 million times the mass of the Sun is hurtling through space, leaving a trail of gas ...

In a major leap forward, scientists, using the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), have captured the sharpest images yet of distant galactic centers. Using light at a frequency of 345 GHz, they’ve peered ...

In this instance, two enormous black holes – 100 and 140 times the mass of Earth's sun – collided. The result? A black hole the size of a whopping 240 suns. Black holes this massive shouldn't be ...

Researchers say they have discovered what may be the closest known black hole to Earth, which they have dubbed "the Unicorn." The black hole is about three times the mass of our sun, meaning it is ...

A proposed interstellar mission envisions sending a gram-scale nanocraft, propelled by a laser-driven lightsail to a nearby black hole, achieving approximately one-third the speed of light. Upon ...

Inside Silke Weinfurtner’s laboratory at the University of Nottingham in the UK, a giant water tank is helping her team better understand the complexity of the universe by standing in as an analogue ...

Black hole science in 2025 did not advance in gentle increments. It lurched forward in giant steps, from record shattering ...
