An international team of researchers, led by scientists from Stockholm University's Department of Astronomy, has discovered a higher number of black holes in the early universe than was previously recorded.…
A significant astronomical event has unfolded, revealing the powerful interactions between a massive black hole and its surrounding environment. Researchers from NASA and India's ISRO have used multiple space observatories,…
Black hole mergers are some of the most energetic and intense events known in the cosmos. When two black holes come close enough to collide, they start by circling each…
Astronomers are investigating a controversial idea that black holes might be linked to the universe's accelerated expansion, driven by dark energy. Dark energy, a mysterious force that forms about 70…
Astronomers are watching two unusual black holes, each presenting phenomena that challenge current understanding of these cosmic giants. One, a "serial killer" black hole, is about to devour its second…
Primordial black holes (PBHs), possibly formed shortly after the Big Bang, may be experiencing explosive events across the universe. A recent study led by theoretical physicists Dr Marco Calzà and…
Recent discoveries indicate that the universe may harbour significantly more feeding supermassive black holes than previously estimated. These colossal entities, each with a mass ranging from millions to billions of…
NASA's Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory has detected a unique signal from two enormous black holes, locked in a cosmic dance that disturbs a dense gas cloud at the centre of…
A recent cosmic census has revealed an unexpected threefold rise in active black holes within dwarf galaxies, creating the most extensive database of intermediate-mass black holes recorded to date. This…
Recent studies, published in Physical Review D on September 16 and 17, have proposed that microscopic black holes may be present within the solar system, potentially affecting the paths of…
