Some black holes, bound by gravity, rotate around each other, as shown in this simulated image. Simulating eXtreme Spacetimes Lensing (SXS), CC BY-SA Black holes are regions of space where gravity is ...

Black hole week reaches its conclusion today (May 10), and there's no better way to mark the occasion than with some "eggs-traordinary" black hole science. This research is more than a mere curiosity ...

Pairs of black holes have been detected in the past through their gravitational effects, but until now, scientists have never ...

Every galaxy has a supermassive black hole at its center, much like every egg has a yolk. But sometimes, hens lay eggs with two yolks. In a similar way, astrophysicists like us who study supermassive ...

What happens when a gargantuan cloud of gas swallows a pair of monster black holes with their own appetites? Feasting on the gas can cause some weird (heavenly) bodily functions. AT 2021hdr is a ...

"Black holes are not as destructive as we thought. It seems plausible that the detection of planets in the galactic center is just a matter of time." When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

The discovery could lead to the finding of more planets. Astrophysicists are marveling at the latest celestial discovery made near the Milky Way's supermassive black hole. Scientists have uncovered ...

Researchers from University College London and the University of Potsdam, Germany have studied two most massive touching stars in a neighboring galaxy that will eventually turn into black holes and ...

Using archival data from the Gemini North telescope, a team of astronomers has measured the heaviest pair of supermassive black holes ever found. The merging of two supermassive black holes is a ...

This article was originally published at The Conversation. The publication contributed the article to Space.com's Expert ...

The eccentricity in the orbits of these black holes, detected using gravitational waves, could tell the story of their creation. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Marco Ajello receives funding from NASA and NSF. Jonathan Zrake receives funding from NASA and NSF. Black holes are regions of space where gravity is so strong that not even light can escape from ...
