Scientists have recently discovered a gigantic, mysterious structure in our galaxy - a pair of enormous gamma-ray emitting bubbles that may have been caused by an eruption from a super-sized black hole.
The young universe spiked a fever 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang, warming up as huge black holes poured out massive amounts of energy, a new study suggests.
Scientists have a new origins story for a massive black hole that spews X-rays as it orbits an even larger companion star.
A giant star in a faraway galaxy recently ended its life with a dust-shrouded whimper instead of the more typical bang.
Physicists are hot on the trail of one of strangest theorized structures in the universe.
Italian physicists in have created a miniature environment that mimics the conditions of a black hole.
