A record-breaking black hole collision has stunned scientists with its sheer scale and speed. Detected by the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA observatories, the event merged two enormous black holes—each over 100 ...

A puzzling gravitational wave was detected, and astronomers have determined that it comes from a record-breaking black hole ...

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 ...

The equivalent of 104 Earths per year flows toward the black hole, causing some serious indigestion.

A new paper claims astronomers discovered an ultramassive black hole heavier than any other black hole we've ever measured.

Black holes are invisible, yet they are among the brightest things in the universe. If a star wanders too close to a black hole, it gets torn apart in a fireworks show called a tidal disruption ...

For years, scientists have theorized that some black holes could actually be wormholes, and a new study shows that this space-time mimicry could in fact be possible.

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

A supermassive black hole lurking at the heart of a relatively close galaxy is firing off a rapid-fire slew of ultrafast gas "bullets" into the surrounding galaxy.

An unlucky star came into contact with a roaming black hole and was ripped apart in a peculiar celestial occurrence.

Measurements of wind in a luminous galactic core reveal dense pockets of gas — a finding that calls for a rethink of how black holes interact with their host galaxies.

A set of three new NASA sonifications bring black holes to life via sound.
