Scientists may have "heard" the first tantalizing evidence of primordial black holes formed directly from overly dense ...

In a study published in Physical Review Letters, physicists have demonstrated that black holes satisfy the third law of ...

Black holes, regions of immense gravity preventing light escape, were theoretically predicted by Einstein's general relativity and confirmed through observations of intense X-ray sources like Cygnus X ...

New data reveals black hole jets can accelerate at speeds defying all physical laws, leaving astronomers without a clear explanation.

A mind-bending hypothesis is gaining traction among scientists: The universe may be teeming with microscopic black holes the size of an atom, but with the mass of a city-sized asteroid. Created just a ...

Entangled by gravity and destined to merge, two candidate black holes in a distant galaxy appear to be locked in an intricate dance. Entangled by gravity and destined to merge, two candidate black ...

Astronomers have uncovered clues to a red giant’s chaotic past by detecting subtle stellar vibrations that hint at a long-ago collision and an unexpectedly rapid spin. Astronomers at the (IfA) have pi ...

Black holes, like the one in this illustration, can spray powerful jets. S. Dagnello (NRAO/AUI/NSF), CC BY-SA One of the most powerful objects in the universe is a radio quasar – a spinning black hole ...

One of the most notable aspects about our planet—if observed from the outside—is that it spins. Earth’s spin defines our days, setting the fundamental rhythm of life on our world. The moon spins, too.
