Black Holes

Newly released images of the supermassive black hole at the heart of the galaxy M87 show that the plasma that swirls around it has unexpectedly reversed directions.

The mystery of the James Webb Space Telescope's "little red dots" could be solved if they are not ancient galaxies but are entirely new celestial objects called "black hole stars."

Everything about the Infinity Galaxy, recently discovered by the JWST, is strange. One odd feature could be the first evidence of a "direct collapse" black hole.

Astronomers have discovered a rogue intermediate mass black hole blasting out jets over 3,000 light-years from the heart of its home galaxy, where it would usually lurk.

New research suggests that if primordial black holes exist, there is a 90% chance our telescopes could detect one exploding in the next 10 years.

It isn't just supermassive black holes that are messy eaters. Using a Japanese space telescope called XRISM, scientists have found that small black holes are a "hot mess," too.

Astronomers just ruled out merging black holes as a possible solution to a giant discrepancy plaguing cosmology.

Unexpected X-ray polarization challenges long-held ideas about how black holes behave.

There's a gap in black hole masses, and experts believe here is where 'lite intermediate black holes' reside.

A newfound supermassive black hole from the dawn of the universe challenges how early cosmic giants formed.
