Latest about Black holes
Study finds black holes made from light are impossible — challenging Einstein's theory of relativity
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.
Supermassive black holes provide 'hearts and lungs' that help galaxies live longer
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.
In the last 25 years, black hole physicists have uncovered the unimaginable
Over the last 25 years, black hole physics has experienced something of a revolution.
Hubble Space Telescope finds closest massive black hole to Earth — a cosmic clue frozen in time
The Hubble Telescope has discovered a black hole "frozen in time" that's also the closest massive black hole to Earth.
James Webb Space Telescope sees an ancient black hole dance with colliding galaxies
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.
Quasars are 'cosmic signposts' pointing to rare supermassive black hole pairs
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.
Watch a supermassive black hole trap a 'fluffy' disk in this simulation
A new computer simulation flies through tangled galaxies and zooms in on a black hole to dissect how these voids feats on surrounding matter.
Weird physics at the edges of black holes may help resolve lingering 'Hubble trouble'
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.
