You've heard of a supermassive black hole. Now, what about an "ultramassive" black hole? That descriptor is the only word researchers could use befitting a black hole recently spotted lurking far from ...

The feeding patterns of black holes offer insight into their size, researchers report. A new study revealed that the flickering in the brightness observed in actively feeding supermassive black holes ...

Astronomers may have finally cracked one of the universe’s biggest mysteries: how black holes grew so enormous so fast after ...

"It is exciting to think that Little Red Dots may represent the first direct observational evidence of the birth of the most ...

An artist representation of the CAPERS-LRD-z9 galaxy, home to the earliest confirmed black hole. The supermassive black hole at its center is believed to be surrounded by a thick cloud of gas, giving ...

Astronomers have spotted an apparent supermassive black hole snacking on a star 600 million light-years away, wandering through a galaxy with an even larger black hole at its core. The event, dubbed ...

We now have direct images of two supermassive black holes: M87* and Sag A*. The fact that we can capture such images is ...

A study in Nature finds that black holes in the early Universe go through short periods of ultra-fast growth, followed by long periods of dormancy. Scientists have spotted a massive black hole in the ...

A black hole can feel like the most distant and unreal object you could ever think about, yet the way its darkness bends light may one day speak directly to the deepest parts of physics. If you have ...

Researchers believe the 'ultramassive' black hole is big enough to be the largest of its kind ever detected. Black holes are regions of space where the pull of gravity is so intense that even light ...
