Latest about Black Holes
Scientists find wind blowing from our Milky Way's black hole after half-century search: 'There it is'
After searching for 50 years, astronomers have finally discovered powerful winds blowing from Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the heart of our galaxy.
Black holes could 'leak' long enough to become white holes that weigh no more than a flea's egg
New research suggests primordial black holes born during the Big Bang could live much longer than previously estimated — long enough to become energy-spewing white holes.
Astronomers discover a 'lost world' of black hole mergers: 'It's the astronomical equivalent of uncovering an ancient civilization'
This could change our understanding of how the cosmic titans collide.
James Webb Space Telescope discovers a black hole that formed before its host galaxy. Scientists aren't sure how
"It's a paradigm shift, a total revisiting of the classical scenarios of how black holes form and grow."
Most powerful 'ghost particle' ever may have come from a cosmic particle accelerator fed by a black hole
"We have never observed such a high-energy neutrino before, and if it turns out to come from cosmic accelerators like blazars, it would give us new insight into how these objects can emit particles at energies beyond what we previously expected."
Black holes slamming into scorching stars may be causing mysterious blue flashes in the cosmos
Powerful bright blue cosmic explosions called Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients could be caused when a black hole or neutron star slams into the universe's hottest class of star.
How do the biggest black holes in the universe form? Ripples in spacetime provide a clue
Merging black holes and neutron stars have unusual oval orbits prior to colliding and merging, which challenge the laws of physics.
James Webb Space Telescope's strange little red dots may really be 'black hole stars', X-ray data suggests
Finding X-rays coming from one of the little red dots discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope could be the key to answering what these weird objects truly are.
