Black Holes

A hidden black hole or neutron star companion to an unstable massive star is causing the system to erupt in light that mimics a supernova explosion.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have discovered the oldest pair of black hole-powered quasars ever seen. There's just one problem: they shouldn't exist!

New research suggests that Little Red Dots, which have puzzled astronomers since the JWST began discovering them, could host primordial black holes born during the Big Bang.

"The two resulting black holes must also be able to separate rather than immediately fall back together."

A citizen science project is seeking volunteers to comb through NASA telescope data for telltale signs of the galaxy's hidden black holes.

What looks like a neon pink treble clef floating out in space is actually a bizarre source of radio waves spotted deep in the cosmos.

Using the NASA spacecraft Swift, astronomers observed a supermassive black hole burping radio jets 300 days after a heavy cosmic meal.

Astronomers have discovered the most distant and earliest blazar, an erupting supermassive black hole aiming its plasma jets directly at Earth.

Scientists have discovered how jets launched by supermassive black holes can determine how their host galaxies "die."

"We are seeing an extremely overfed black hole wrapped in its own fuel."
