The three examples the team highlighted in a new study describe supermassive black holes feasting on stars more than three times as massive as our own sun.The events, dubbed “extreme nuclear ...

Black holes are hard to image because they swallow anything that comes close to them, even light, due to their immensely powerful gravity. However, that doesn't mean they are invisible.

A black hole bomb – an idea first proposed in 1969 – has now been realised in the lab as a toy model made from a rotating cylinder and magnetic coils. Studying the bomb could help us better ...

For the first time, astronomers have confirmed the existence of a lone black hole — one with no star orbiting it. It’s “the only one so far,” says Kailash Sahu, an astronomer at the Space ...

In a study published March 11 in the scientific journal Physical Review Letters, two researchers applied quantum mechanics to a theoretical model of a black hole. Their results suggest a possible ...

The black hole, with an official name of 1ES 1927+654, is located in the distant constellation Draco. Astronomers have been monitoring the black hole for years, primarily since 2018 when the mass ...
