Latest about Black holes
Scientists detect highest-energy ghost particle ever seen — where did it come from?
"History shows us that whenever you do open a new 'energy window,' you never really know what you're going to find. It's completely unexplored."
Black holes could 'bend it like Beckham' to reveal hidden asymmetries of the universe
Black holes and soccer balls don't have much in common, but if black holes are curved when kicked, it might say something deep about the cosmos.
Scientists discover largest black hole jet ever seen in the early universe — its twice as long as our galaxy
Using the Gemini North telescope, astronomers have detected the largest black hole jet ever seen in the early universe. It's twice as long as the Milky Way.
Scientists discover black holes spinning unexpectedly fast: 'You’re essentially looking at its fossil record'
A new form of black hole archeology, linking spin to gas and dust, has revealed that these cosmic titans spin faster than expected.
Astronomers find hundreds of 'hidden' black holes — and there may be billions or even trillions more
Black holes that have been obscured by clouds of dust still emit infrared light, enabling astronomers to spot them for the very first time
Twisted magnetic fields in space sculpt the jets of black holes and baby stars
By studying the fastest jet ever seen erupting from an infant star, astronomers have discovered that the mechanism that launches these jets also launch supermassive black hole jets.
NASA X-ray telescope Chandra discovers black holes 'blow' on their food to cool it down
Observations from NASA's Chandra X-ray telescope and the VLT have revealed jets blasting from supermassive black holes cause gas to cool and fall toward them in a cosmic feeding process.
Supermassive black holes in 'little red dot' galaxies are 1,000 times larger than they should be, and astronomers don't know why
"Little red dot" galaxies discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope in the early cosmos appear to be ruled by supermassive black holes that are 1,000 times too massive.
