Black holes are considered cosmic gluttons, from which not even light can escape. That is also why the images of black holes at the center of the galaxy M87 and our Milky Way, published a few years ...

Can we classify merging black holes? Astronomers think that such light-swallowing monsters can be classified. Analyzing gravitational-wave data from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration, they show that ...

One of the most puzzling findings from the JWST's observations of the early universe is the size of black holes. According to ...

In 2023, astronomers detected a huge collision. Two unprecedentedly massive black holes had crashed an estimated 7 billion light-years away. The enormous masses and extreme spins of the black holes ...

Black holes are among the most extreme objects in the universe, and now scientists can model them more accurately than ever before. By combining Einstein’s gravity with realistic behavior of light and ...

A bizarre, record-breaking neutrino detected in 2023 may have originated from an exploding primordial black hole—a relic from the early universe. Scientists suggest these black holes could carry a ...

On November 12, 2025, a ripple passed through the fabric of spacetime and triggered alarms at three gravitational-wave observatories across two continents. The signal, catalogued as S251112cm, was ...

A radio image of two black holes orbiting each other in Quasar OJ287. The light comes from the glowing gas surrounding the black holes and the particle jets being emitted. Valtonen, Mauri et al., The ...

Black hole images may test competing gravity theories. A new method uses simulations to check if they follow Einstein or alternatives with future sharper telescopes. (Nanowerk News) Black holes are ...

At the current resolution of telescopes, black holes predicted by different theories of gravity still look very similar. Future telescopes will make the differences more visible, making it possible to ...
