Astronomers at the University of Hawaii uncovered black hole events so packed with energy, they were the biggest explosions seen since the Big Bang.

Despite weighing about a million times the mass of our sun, the black hole wasn't found at the center of its host galaxy, where such giants typically reside. It marks the first known instance of ...

The off-center black hole, which has a mass about 1 million times that of the sun, was hiding in the outer regions of the galaxy's central bulge, but revealed itself through bursts of light ...

This one, however, is different. The wandering black hole weighs one million times the mass of the Sun. Meanwhile, the centre of the host galaxy holds a much bigger black hole — 100 million ...

A monstrous black hole in a distant galaxy has earned itself a nickname worthy of a science-fiction horror movie for its gluttonous feasting on any stars that dare get near. Meet "Space Jaws.

It is about 10 14 times more luminous than the Sun, making it one of the brightest known astronomical sources in the Universe. The quasar is powered by a supermassive black hole that is estimated ...

Rather, this one was 2,600 light-years from the galactic center—a huge distance on paper, but really just one-tenth the distance between our Sun and Sagittarius A*, the black hole at the center ...

While the catawampus black hole has the mass of 1 million suns, the one that defines the galactic center is 100 million times the mass of the sun. The burst of radiation detected, known as a tidal ...

A bomb from a black hole would probably be the most destructive weapon in the universe. Hypothetically, it could be created by wrapping one of these cosmic monsters in mirrors and waiting for it ...

As a result, a large galaxy might have as many as 100 extremely large black holes wandering about, with about 10 of them having masses of over 10 6 times that of the Sun. And the galaxy that ...

A new study achieves unprecedented accuracy in modelling extreme cosmic events like black hole and neutron star collisions by calculating the fifth post-Minkowskian (5PM) order, crucial for ...

The two members of SS 433 include a star like our sun in orbit around a much heavier partner, either a neutron star or a black hole. This orbital dance causes undulations in X-rays that Chandra ...
