New gravitational wave findings from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration report the discovery of the largest black hole merger ...

European astronomers have found the closest black hole to Earth yet, so near that the two stars dancing with it can be seen by the naked eye. Of course, close is relative on the galactic scale.

Supermassive black hole spotted 12.9 billion light-years from Earth — and it's shooting a beam of energy right at us News By Harry Baker published 15 January 2025 ...

In a major leap forward, scientists, using the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), have captured the sharpest images yet of distant galactic centers. Using light at a frequency of 345 GHz, they’ve ...

The Hubble Space Telescope has observed a black hole devouring a star. Skip to main content. ... Located just 2,000 light-years away, it is one of the closest known black holes to Earth.

Teams of astronomers at Meyer's university and many other institutions have been keeping an eye on the black hole ever since. The vigilance paid off when, in April 2023, a team at the university ...

A supermassive black hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud (LMC) may be the source of nine stars zooming through our galaxy – a surprising hint that dwarf galaxies can host large black holes.

Gamma rays detected by NASA's Fermi spacecraft indicate that microquasars are powered by small black holes slowly devouring stars. They pack quite a punch, bombarding Earth with cosmic rays.
