Gravitational lensing is a phenomenon caused by massive objects bending the fabric space-time around them due to the impact ...

A distant quasar is defying two fundamental expectations of black hole physics. The object, known as ID830, is growing at 13 ...

A massive star 2.5 million light-years away simply vanished — and astronomers now know why. Instead of exploding in a supernova, it quietly collapsed into a black hole, shedding its outer layers in a ...

A burst of X-rays from 8 billion years ago may be the first clear evidence of a white dwarf torn apart by a black hole.

A supermassive black hole in J1007+3540 has roared back to life after 100 million years, firing jets across nearly one million light years and revealing a turbulent battle inside a galaxy cluster.

Hidden deep within the Milky Way, a surprising discovery has been made: over 100 black holes tucked away in the Palomar 5 stellar stream. For years, scientists speculated about their existence, but it ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. A giant black hole far from the galactic center, occupied by an even larger black hole, emits bright radio flares after eating a ...

Scientists say an ultra-powerful neutrino once thought impossible may be explained by an exotic black hole model involving a so-called “dark charge.” ...

A ‘runaway’ black hole ejected from its host galaxy is barrelling across space — and leaving behind a wake of newborn stars.

The KM3NeT collaboration is a large research group involved in the operation of a neutrino telescope network in the deep ...

A newly detected X-ray transient may reveal the first direct evidence of an intermediate-mass black hole consuming a white dwarf. A newly observed cosmic outburst is giving astronomers a rare glimpse ...

An exotic type of dark matter could explain some of the characteristics of our galaxy’s central supermassive black hole, but ...
