But one trend that scientists are still working to explain fully is that ... Where are the black holes of intermediate mass?

"Many supermassive black holes may lie concealed within dusty regions of the early universe, undetected," said astronomer Takafumi Tsukui.

Intriguingly, ultralight dark matter might be able to turn into photons (light) — and it's through this process that the ...

This allows for black hole formation during the earliest periods of the history of the universe, without the need for starlight or stellar evolution and could explain the presence of supermassive ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have peered into galaxies that existed at cosmic noon to hunt ravenously ...

The big question is whether scientists could ever find evidence for this theory from actual observations of black holes; after all, we know we can't simply peer into their interiors.

The black hole now gives off powerful X-rays at nearly regular intervals. These outbursts are known as quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs), and have been observed emitting from other black holes. But ...

One was that the accretion disk was formed by gas getting sucked into the black hole, which only shoots out X-ray flares when ...

It would also explain why we haven't seen any evaporating primordial black holes yet. They simply haven't had enough time to decay. This hypothesis is highly speculative, but what's most ...
