Primordial black holes may be exploding throughout the universe. If we can catch them in the act, it could pave the way to new physics, a study suggests.
Black holes are fascinating objects. They're unimaginably dense: If Earth was (hypothetically) crushed into a black hole, it would be under an inch across. This profound density gives black holes ...
A new study reveals that black holes’ inner dynamics may challenge traditional models like the Kerr solution. This research indicates that black holes may be less stable than previously thought due to ...
The new Webb observations involve a supermassive black hole called LID-568 that existed when the cosmos was about 11% its current age - about 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang event 13.8 billion ...
The black hole's voracious appetite, which has allowed it to pile on more than seven million solar masses in just 12 million ...
The universe is filled with galaxies, including our own Milky Way. When pictured, galaxies appear like fairly set areas with clear beginnings and endings. The reality, however, is not nearly as ...
Chandra X-ray Observatory and X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) imagery of the Milky Way's core and supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* has been sonified by SYSTEM Sounds. Credit: ...
