Generally speaking, black holes are the corpse of a dead star. But not all stars become black holes at the end of their life – for instance, our familiar Sun is small enough to avoid that fate.
Astronomers find large-scale winds associated with active black holes in small galaxies suppress star formation
New research argues Planet Nine is really just a black hole left over from the Big Bang.
When galaxies collide, so do the supermassive black holes at the center of each galaxy. For the first time, astronomers have observed a triple collision of galaxies, which have sent their black holes on a collision course, according to a new study.
NASA has released a stunning new high-resolution visualization of a black hole, specifically how its gravity distorts the way it looks.
The behemoth at the center of the galaxy flared up in near-infrared wavelengths
General relativity suggests the spacetime oddities can be fully described by their mass and spin
Scientists say Milky Way’s Sagittarius A* has been more active in recent months
Results support Einstein’s theory and the idea that black holes have no ‘hair’
A mysterious black hole—that has yet to be discovered—in one of our galaxy’s spiral arms appears to have hurled a star across the Milky Way, an international team of astronomers has said.
