The newly discovered "blazar," which has a mass equal to 700 million suns, is the oldest of its kind ever seen and changes what we know about the early universe.

Scientists Found First Triple Black Hole System Typically, black holes to emit X-rays perpendicular to the galactic plane. But it’s extremely unusual to find them within the plane itself.

For the first time, physicists have observed a “black hole triple” in space.This new system is about 8,000 light years away from Earth and is made up of a central black hole that is in the act ...

In Pablo’s Galaxy, researchers found its black hole ejecting cold, dark gas at speeds up to 620 miles (1,000 kilometers) per second, blowing it out of the galaxy’s gravitational reach.
