After decades of study, scientists sound genuinely optimistic about the possibility of detecting primordial black holes, which might explain dark matter.

Active galactic nuclei are supermassive black holes at the center of certain galaxies. As matter falls into these black holes ...

Astronomers found a massive black hole that spent ages in a "quiet" phase when everything around it in the early universe ...

In 1974, Stephen Hawking put forward an intriguing idea: Using the principles of quantum physics, he predicted that even though nothing is supposed to escape a black hole's event horizon ...

Since 2018, we've seen 1ES 1927+654 generate jets in real time and found it may have a lone white dwarf orbiting near the ...

The supermassive black hole has been sending out flashes that have increased in speed. Astronomers say they have never seen anything like it before. The black hole is known as 1ES 1927+654 ...

Strange vibrations emanating from a supermassive black hole appear to be growing more frequent and they could be caused by a white dwarf star orbiting perilously close to its event horizon.

We do not know what dark energy is but its existence allows astronomers to explain so many features of the universe. A new hypothesis suggests quite a peculiar source of this energy: black holes.

In this case, the sheer size of the dormant black hole suggests that our standard models may not fully explain how holes of this magnitude form and grow. “It’s possible that black holes are ...

Lead author Dr Peter Boorman, formerly of the University of Southampton and now at Caltech, in Pasadena, California, explained: “Black holes also influence the galaxies they live in – this ...
