The size and spin of black holes can reveal important information about how and where they formed, according to new research.

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

The universe could be home to far more supermassive black holes than we realised, according to new research. Many of them are ...

As black holes slowly vanish through Hawking radiation, their information may be preserved in subtle space-time ripples, a new theory suggests. Nothing is supposed to escape a black hole's event ...

The Andromeda Galaxy, our nearest galactic neighbor, is a majestic spiral galaxy like the Milky Way. Let’s uncover some ...

Evaporation introduces a conundrum called the black hole information paradox. If a black hole evaporates and disappears, the particles it leaves behind are missing information on the matter's ...

International teams of astronomers monitoring a supermassive black hole in the heart of a distant galaxy have detected ...

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 ...

For half a century, astrophysicists have been trying to solve the Black Hole Information Paradox—first explained by Stephen Hawking in 1976—which posits that black holes destroy information.

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.
