Black holes

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.

The X-ray-emitting binary system Cygnus X-3 features a massive Wolf-Rayet star donating matter to a compact object, probably a black hole.

The James Webb Space Telescope saw a supermassive black hole that wasn't overfeeding when time began, deepening the mystery of how black hole grew so massive so quickly.

Astronomers have measured supermassive black hole winds that existed when the universe was less than 3 billion years old, showing how these cosmic titans shape galaxies.
