After decades of study, scientists sound genuinely optimistic about the possibility of detecting primordial black holes, which might explain dark matter.
What Hawking ended up with were descriptions of black holes that could boil themselves out of existence, and equations that described the entire history of the Universe in a single sweep.
In 2018, a distant black hole threw a fit. The 1.4-million-solar-mass black hole at the center of the galaxy 1ES 1927+654 some 270 million light-years away suddenly began spewing radiation ...
A supermassive black hole surrounded by gas and dust as seen in infrared light (top left), visible light (top right), and low- and high-energy X-rays (bottom left, right). Image: NASA/JPL-Caltech ...
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 ...
In 2018, astronomers took the first-ever picture of a black hole, a fascinating and unprecedented glimpse of an event horizon. And as it turns out, the black hole — dubbed M87* and located some ...
A massive, energetic jet from Virgo A could help scientists understand how matter behaves around a black hole. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission.
NASA researchers combined years of data and new imaging techniques to learn more about a "tipped over" black hole that is moving in an unexpected way. The black hole is located in a galaxy called ...
Black holes don't have many identifying features ... Spiral galaxies are perhaps the most famous kind of galaxy, but sometimes they collide with other spirals and form elliptical galaxies.
The dense stellar remnant would, if confirmed, be the closest known object to any black hole, according to preliminary research Sara Hashemi Correspondent An artist’s concept of a white dwarf ...
For half a century, astrophysicists have been trying to solve the Black Hole Information Paradox—first explained by Stephen Hawking in 1976—which posits that black holes destroy information.
