Black holes

A missing link black hole that sits in the mass gap between stellar-mass black holes and supermassive black holes is "parked" right by the Milky Way's central black hole, Sagittarius A*.

New theoretical research finds that it's impossible to form a black hole with the energy of light particles alone, poking a hole in Einstein's theory of general relativity.

The universe would be filled with zombie galaxies and dead stars if not for supermassive black hole-powered 'hearts and lungs' that help slow star formation.

Over the last 25 years, black hole physics has experienced something of a revolution.

The Hubble Telescope has discovered a black hole "frozen in time" that's also the closest massive black hole to Earth.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have witnessed the dramatic dance between a supermassive black hole-powered quasar and merging galaxies less than a billion years after the Big Bang.

New research suggests that galaxies with quasars at their active hearts are seven times more likely to harbor elusive supermassive black hole binary paintings than other galaxies.

A new computer simulation flies through tangled galaxies and zooms in on a black hole to dissect how these voids feats on surrounding matter.

The expansion of the universe may not be accelerating at the edges of black holes. If this is the case at all event horizons, this may explain "Hubble tension," and the worst prediction in physics.

After 20 years watching stars in the Large Magellanic Cloud for hints of a phenomenon predicted by Einstein, scientists throw doubt on the connection between ancient black holes and dark matter.
