Strange 'fast radio bursts' across the universe could help solve major cosmic mysteries: 'It's only the beginning'
Though their origins may be shrouded in mystery, fast radio bursts could be used to probe some of the universe's biggest puzzles, including the nature of dark matter and dark energy.
This 'impossible' black hole merger may be explained by a warp in spacetime
A "forbidden" merger between two black holes may not have been quite as impossible as previously thought. New research that suggests the black holes involved were smaller than first calculated.
Supermassive black holes 'too big' for the early universe may not be so massive after all
Over massive supermassive black holes too big for early galaxies and detected by the James Webb Space Telescope may not be quite so massive after all.
Why do black hole flares die out? It may be down to how stars spin
Some stars encounter supermassive black holes and live to tell the tale. New research shows why the flares these encounters cause dim over repeated episodes.
What happens when a galaxy's supermassive black hole turns off? These dying radio galaxies could show us
Astronomers have discovered a hitherto unseen population of galaxies with fading radio lobes, revealing what happens to these vast outflows when their black hole engines stall.
'Dark stars' could be the seeds of supermassive black holes, scientists say
A mysterious hum of gravitational waves that fills the cosmos may be the echo of long-dead "dark stars" that served as the seeds of the first supermassive black holes.
Dark matter could magnify the jets of a ravenously feeding supermassive black hole
"We are very happy to have discovered as-yet-undetected phenomena in the jet."
Scientists find 3 supermassive black holes on the verge of collision inside a distant galaxy
A greedy galaxy that existed less than 1.3 billion years after the Big Bang is hoarding supermassive black holes.
