Black Holes

I'd be running, too.

A supermassive black hole located millions of light-years away maintains a very hearty diet.

Two huge bubbles of radio energy swirling out of the Milky Way's middle could be evidence of an ancient cosmic explosion — or maybe the start of a new one.

Nearly 350 scientists will split the money equally.

All you need are a couple of black holes and some cosmic strings. No biggie.

Sending a carrier pigeon across the cosmos would probably be a more reliable way to send a message.

Researchers at LIGO and Virgo may have detected a gravitational-wave signal from the merger between a black hole and neutron star. This would be a major first.

Astronomers have been watching the black hole at the center of our galaxy for 20 years, and in May, they saw something they'd never seen before.

A cloaked black hole found lurking behind a cloud of gas dates to the early cosmic years of the universe.

It's time to find all the missing black holes. That's the argument advanced by a pair of Japanese astrophysicists who want to find "isolated black holes."

The discovery may reveal a crucial link between the evolution of black holes and galaxies.

This one involved the Milky Way's supermassive black hole.

Discovery of this black hole disk could provide insights regarding relativity theory.

The biggest, oldest black holes in the universe shouldn't technically exist. A new study provides fresh evidence for the weird, "direct collapse" process that may have made them.

Astronomers are starting to get the goods on fast radio bursts, one of the most mysterious phenomena in the universe.

Black holes are engines of destruction on a cosmic scale, but they may also be the bringers of life.

A citizen-science project is asking people to trace spiral galaxies to help astronomers find intermediate-mass black holes.
