A hot pink letter "H" is carved into the blazing hot gas that surrounds a supermassive black hole that lurks at the heart of a massive galaxy. The structure is a staggering 40,000 light-years tall, ...

Astronomers stared deep into the heart of a hungry black hole, only to discover a jet of X-rays beaming out of it that is ...

The flash of light from the black hole's dinner finally reached Earth in 2014 — and astronomers just discovered it in their data. This newly detected outburst from the center of NGC 7392 is the ...

Okay, perhaps the title here is a bit of an exaggeration, but this black hole lamp made by [Will Donaldson] is an interesting approach to creating a black hole simulation without destroying the earth.

Of all the ways that planet Earth could meet its eventual demise, death by black hole is among the most spectacular. While gamma-ray bursts, nearby supernovae, or giant collisions with asteroids or ...

Discovery of GS-9209, one of the furthest from the Milky Way, adds to evidence that large black holes prevent star formation, astronomers say ...

These black holes are nicknamed 'blazars' because they are shooting explosive jets of matter and radiation directly at Earth ... Related: What is a black hole event horizon (and what happens ...

OK, that was a little click-baity, but then again, so was the announcement this week that a scientist had confirmed Hawking radiation with a lab-grown black hole. It sure got our attention ...

A long-sought missing link is an intermediate-mass black hole, weighing roughly 100 to 100,000 times our Sun’s mass. How would they form, where would they hang out, and why do they seem to be so ...

Astronomers are using 100 newly found supermassive black holes as a laboratory for extreme physics experiments. These black holes are nicknamed 'blazars' because they are shooting explosive jets of ...
