A strange black hole is making scientists scratch their heads.

Astronomers observed flashes of X-rays coming from a supermassive black hole at a steadily increasing clip. The source could be the core of a dead star that's teetering at the black hole's edge.

This rare event has opened up new avenues for studying the mechanics of black holes, offering insights into their ...

Observations of VFTS 243 provide evidence that black holes can form directly from the collapse of massive stars, without a ...

The new findings imply that, rather than a rare intermediate-mass black hole, there is a cluster of ... less than about 6,000 times the mass of the sun and live alongside a cluster of stellar ...

The black hole is located in the early universe, existing just 800 million years after the big bang. It is also massive. At 400 million times the mass of our sun, it is one of the largest black ...

The black hole is 400 million times the mass of the Sun, as seen using the cutting-edge Webb Space Telescope. Webb can see some of the earliest light in the universe by observing light at near ...

A black hole as massive as a the Sun would have the Sun’s gravitational reach — and keep in mind that Earth, while subject to the Sun’s gravity, still doesn’t just fall into our central star.
