Primordial black holes could inhabit the modern-day cosmos, making them responsible for the phenomenon of dark matter, according to new research.
The predictions above have serious mathematical credentials, but at the end of the day, the nature of the singularities are still unknown. So, too, is the state of matter inside a black hole.
Astronomers are unraveling the mystery behind Ansky, a black hole system emitting powerful, repeating X-ray bursts called ...
Astronomers have spotted around a dozen of these weird, rare blasts. Could they be signs of a special kind of black hole?
The blazar BL Lacertae, a supermassive black hole surrounded by a bright disk and jets oriented toward Earth, provided ...

Astronomers using NASA’s IXPE satellite have finally cracked a cosmic mystery—how X-rays are produced in the energetic jets ...
An experimental setup mimics a “black hole bomb” first theorized in 1971. The spinning cylinder with circuitry is true to the original idea, showing that it can be plausible. Electrical waves ...
Scientists have discovered key conditions needed for a stellar black hole to create plasma jets. Their findings show that when superheated gas material experiences a rapid shrinkage towards the black ...
WATCH: Here’s the first image of the black hole at the center of our galaxy The world got a look Thursday at the first wild but fuzzy image of the supermassive black hole at the center of our ...
A stellar mass black hole is a type of black hole that forms from the gravitational collapse of a massive star at the end of its life cycle. These black holes typically have masses ranging from ...
