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 ...

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 ...

While peering into the galaxy using JWST's infrared vision, researchers discovered outflows of gas surrounding the hungry ...

An artist's illustration shows a rapidly feeding black hole that is emitting powerful gas outflows. Using data from NASA's ...

LID-568 was previously identified by the Chandra X-ray Observatory, but observing it was challenging due to its faint ...
