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.
Merging black holes and neutron stars have unusual oval orbits prior to colliding and merging, which challenge the laws of physics.
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.
"With the James Webb Space Telescope now revealing more supermassive black holes in the early universe, this mechanism may help bridge the gap between theory and observation."
Astronomers have discovered that jets from a cannibalistic black hole are erupting with the power of 10,000 suns.
Gravitational waves may have provided the first tantalizing evidence of tiny primordial black holes born during the Big Bang, which could account for dark matter.
