This was true of the black hole at the heart of SDSS1335+0728, a distant and unremarkable galaxy 300 million light-years away in the constellation of Virgo.

Everything about the Infinity Galaxy, recently discovered by the JWST, is strange. One odd feature could be the 1st evidence of a "direct collapse" black hole.

But even this monstrous black hole can't stomach so much matter, leading to some serious indigestion in the form of outflows travelling at around 0.27 times the speed of light.

Astronomers have uncovered what they say just might be the heaviest black hole we've ever seen. The "ultramassive" black hole is located at the center of a galaxy nearly six billion light years ...

A distant supermassive black hole may have bitten off more than it can chew! Not only did the star it selected for a stellar meal escape its clutches, but it came back for a second encounter!

Light behaves in surprising ways near a black hole. Photons that venture too close are swallowed without trace. But others, lucky enough to skim just outside the danger zone, may escape—though ...

This is what is called a stellar mass black hole. But in the past two decades, new types of black holes have been seen and astronomers are beginning to understand how they form.

According to the data, a star had come too close to a massive black hole and been ripped apart. Its stellar guts spiraled inward, heating up and glowing brightly across the electromagnetic spectrum.

A black hole bomb – an idea first proposed in 1969 – has now been realised in the lab as a toy model made from a rotating cylinder and magnetic coils. Studying the bomb could help us better ...

But it turns out that this black hole only accelerated about half the stars. The other half got sped up in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a dwarf galaxy that is the closest galaxy to our own.

This new research gives credence to a theory that posits our galaxy is inside of a black hole, which in turn is located inside another, bigger parent universe. Getty According to Space.com, this ...
