Black Holes

"We are seeing an extremely overfed black hole wrapped in its own fuel."

Rogue black holes that break away from their cosmic homes may carry with them the histories of the galaxies they may eventually escape.

Astronomers have discovered the first microblazar in the Milky Way, a black hole-powered particle accelerator that is blasting near-light-speed plasma jets at Earth.

Black holes come in a vast array of sizes, from many times the mass of the sun, up to billions of times the size of our star, but the "burps" they emit when feeding seem to be remarkably similar.

Using the Large Hadron Collider, the world's most powerful particle accelerator, scientists are on the hunt for quantum black holes smaller than atoms.

Scientists have created a video reconstruction of the high-energy jets of a blazar, a supermassive black hole blasting plasma straight at Earth.

Astronomers have studied nine local galaxies to discover how shock waves from the galaxies' central supermassive black holes sculpt star formation.

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.

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.

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.
