Observations from the Event Horizon Telescope may reveal a secret merger in our supermassive black hole's past, potentially explaining the cosmic monster's unusual spin.

Everything about the Infinity Galaxy, recently discovered by the JWST, is strange. One odd feature could be the 1st evidence ...

An image of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way, which scientists think is spinning as fast as it possibly can.

The new black hole has more than 200 times the mass of our sun – and is challenging theories of how objects form in space ...

In summer, we face toward the Milky Way's hub in the Teapot constellation, home to the galaxy's supermassive black hole.

A U.S. gravitational wave detector spotted a collision between fast-spinning “forbidden” black holes that challenge physics ...

Yale astronomer Pieter van Dokkum and a team of researchers have discovered an object in space they call the "Infinity" ...

These are rare occurrences—scientists estimate that the giant black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy gobbles a star ...

Caption: Astronomers have revealed the largest black hole merger to date. This illustration shows how the merger would appear to our eyes if we could somehow travel in a spaceship for a closer look.

The event is the most massive black hole merger ever recorded by gravitational wave detectors and has forced physicists to ...

A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge computing. Scientists have used a powerful neural network trained with ...
