The black hole, spotted 5 billion light-years away in the Cosmic Horseshoe, could be the most massive ever found.

Scientists have tapped into gravitational lensing and stellar dynamics to confirm the existence of a black hole with 36 billion solar masses.

An interstellar probe sent to a black hole could complete its journey and send data back to Earth in less than a century – if we can find a black hole close enough. Cosimo Bambi at Fudan ...

Black holes are massive, strange and incredibly powerful astronomical objects. Scientists know that supermassive black holes reside in the centers of most galaxies.

This so-called tidal disruption event is the best way to spot these middle-mass black holes. A rogue, middle-mass black hole has been spotted disrupting an orbiting star in the halo of a distant ...

Scientists think the strange orbits of stars near the Milky Way's supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*, might be due to a past collision.

At 225 solar masses, this gargantuan merger of two black holes challenges our thinking on these famously elusive objects.

At 225 solar masses, this gargantuan merger of two black holes challenges our thinking on these famously elusive objects.

Lightning might not strike twice, but black holes apparently do. An international group of researchers led by Tel Aviv University astronomers observed a flare caused when a star falls onto a black ...

Scientists record a black hole collision they weren’t sure was possible The largest black hole collision ever recorded has scientists' jaws on the floor — and scratching their heads.

A collision observed between two black holes, each more massive than a hundred suns, is the largest merger of its kind ever recorded, according to new research.

Scientists say they detected the largest-ever merger of two black holes, forming one that is 225 times the mass of the sun, adding that the new discovery "pushes the limits of" how astronomers ...
