A tiny red speck in the distant universe may hold the key to one of the oldest cosmic mysteries. According to a new preprint ...

Everything about the Infinity Galaxy, recently discovered by the JWST, is strange. One odd feature could be the 1st evidence of a "direct collapse" black hole.

If we know there’s one wandering black hole so close to us in our own galaxy, then there are almost certainly others. Astronomers estimate there may be as many as 100 million isolated black ...

Today in the history of astronomy, NASA announces evidence of material being consumed by the black hole at the center of our ...

With the discovery of Infinity Galaxy, researchers believe they have found evidence of a direct collapse black hole by examining JWST data.

Scientists have discovered a giant black hole that they believe may have been formed in the first few microseconds after the ...

The black hole in the middle of a galaxy grows as well during these mergers. Hubble observations uncovered a proportional relationship: the more massive the galaxy, the bigger the black hole.

Clever boffins have found a rare galaxy crash unlike any other previously located. The huge five-galaxy strong system could ...

Newly Discovered ‘Infinity Galaxy’ Could Prove How Ancient Supermassive Black Holes Formed This collision of two galaxies could demonstrate that theorized “direct collapse black holes” exist.

However, exactly what the black hole is doing to the star remains in question as there are conflicting X-ray measurements. Black holes come in different size classes.

A team of US astronomers led by Kailash Sahu said they have finally discovered the first isolated stellar-mass black hole traveling through space by itself. The researchers ...

UC Berkeley astronomers searching for massive black holes shredding stars found one in an unusual place — 2,600 light years from the core of a galaxy. The roque black hole may be from an ...
