Latest about Black holes
Egg-shaped galaxies may be aligned to the black holes at their hearts, astronomers find
There is a surprising link between what goes on near the black hole and the shape of the entire galaxy that surrounds it.
Supermassive black holes bent the laws of physics to grow to monstrous sizes
Scientists may have cracked one of the biggest mysteries in space science, determining that supermassive black holes bent the laws of physics to grow to their huge sizes.
Dark matter might make space-time ring like a bell around black holes — and we might be able to 'hear' it
To explain why dark matter particles haven't come up in any direct detection experiments, physicists have wondered if it may be a kind of particle known as an axion.
A black hole's secrets could hide in its dizzying light 'echoes'
Black hole light echoes are an extreme form of gravitational lensing.
Supermassive black holes prefer to eat from wobbly plates
Researchers have discovered the first evidence that the brightest accretion disks around supermassive black holes "wobble" as their monstrous occupants drag them around.
'Fastest-feeding' black hole of the early universe found! But does it break the laws of physics?
The hungriest known black hole in the early universe has been found, thanks to teamwork between NASA's James Webb Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory.
NASA's Chandra X-ray telescope sees 'knots' blasting from nearby black hole jets
A fresh analysis of decades-old X-ray black hole jet data has revealed bright, lumpy features with mysterious speed changes.
If black holes form in 'reverse Big Bang replays' they could account for dark energy
Black hole formation could be a little Big Bang in reverse, coupling the matter of a dying star with dark energy, the mysterious force driving the accelerating expansion of the universe.
