Physicists have built the first ever black hole bomb, a long-theorised phenomenon where energy is boosted by a black hole and trapped by surrounding mirrors until an explosion occurs. Thankfully ...

While it's much smaller than the largest supermassive black holes detected, it's still a whopper considering how early in the history of the universe it appeared. An enormous black hole in the ...

No explosive birth needed: The discovery suggests this black hole likely formed through direct collapse, a quiet implosion ...

One of the most powerful objects in the universe is a radio quasar — a spinning black hole spraying out highly energetic particles. Come too close to one, and you'd get sucked in by its ...

Black holes, the densest objects in the universe, eat up anything that comes too close, even light. Is there anything left inside these behemoths that could reveal what they devoured in the first ...

Quasars are distant galaxies ... X-Ray Flashes from a Nearby Supermassive Black Hole Accelerate Mysteriously Jan. 13, 2025 — Astronomers observed flashes of X-rays coming from a supermassive ...

The lone black hole without a companion star is located 5,000 light-years away. A team of scientists have confirmed the existence of a lone black hole that has no star orbiting it in the Milky Way ...

They suggested it might be a lone black hole. Shortly thereafter, a second research team challenged that result, suggesting it was more likely a neutron star. After continuing to study the object ...

A Michigan State University researcher saw X-rays coming from a black hole using the NASA Chandra X-Ray Observatory telescope. "Every large galaxy has a supermassive black hole, but the exact ...

With all we know about the Thunderbolts* plot, I will call the film’s first massive plot hole without having seen it: Spider-Man. And I’ll preemptively blame Sony, but also Marvel for it.

Black holes are bounded by outer barriers called event horizons that prevent us from ever viewing their interiors or their hearts, singularities at which all known laws of physics collapse.
