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 ...

Astronomers have discovered a supermassive black hole in a distant galaxy that is consuming matter at an extraordinary rate, surpassing the theoretical Eddington limit by more than 40 times.

Astronomers have detected the hungriest black hole in the early universe with the help of Chandra X-ray Observatory and NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). It has been found that the black hole ...

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 black hole's voracious appetite, which has allowed it to pile on more than seven million solar masses in just 12 million ...

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.

Researchers have discovered something groundbreaking in the world of astrophysics—an incredible system where not one, but a ...

New research from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory uncovers fast-moving knots in black hole jets, highlighting differences in ...

Research indicates that the James Webb Space Telescope could help confirm the presence of life-supporting atmospheres on exoplanets in the "Goldilocks zone," enhancing the likelihood of discovering ...

An old galaxy reveals clusters of young stars that have formed in an unusually synchronized fashion, challenging the idea ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) and the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA), an international team of astronomers have observed a giant spiral galaxy designated ADF22.A1.

The nearby bright star Vega is surrounded by a surprisingly smooth, 100 billion-mile-wide disk of cosmic dust, confirming that it is not surrounded by any exoplanets, JWST images reveal. And ...
