We go in depth on black holes: the strangest objects in the universe! Black holes are not just the strangest objects in the universe, they're the sharpest test we have of how reality actually works.

A comprehensive set of simulations by Flatiron Institute astrophysicists and their colleagues revealed that magnetic fields are responsible for creating black holes with masses in a range previously ...

Black holes are some of the strangest and most powerful objects in the universe, and for all our advances in science, we still don’t fully understand them. They bend space and time, swallow light, and ...

Scientists have traced the origins of the most massive black hole merger ever observed, revealing how two "impossible" giants may have formed despite long-standing assumptions that such objects should ...

In 1974, a brilliant 32-year-old physicist published a not-quite-two-page paper in the journal Nature — and blew up one of our fundamental assumptions about black holes. The author was Stephen Hawking ...

The black hole was bigger than expected, and while the answer was hiding in plain sight, it still rewrites what we thought was possible. Reading time 4 minutes When LIGO broke news of an ...

"It is exciting to think that Little Red Dots may represent the first direct observational evidence of the birth of the most massive black holes in the universe." When you purchase through links on ...

A new study published in Nature Astronomy indicates that the dense, star- and dark-matter–rich environments around supermassive black hole binaries pack on the order of a million solar masses into ...

In 2023, a subatomic particle called a neutrino crashed into Earth with such a high amount of energy that it should have been impossible. In fact, there are no known sources anywhere in the universe ...

University of Oregon astronomer Yvette Cendes made a surprising discovery years after a black hole shredded a star. What is "Jetty McJetface"?
