"These are the first JWST observations of tidal disruption events, and they look nothing like what we’ve ever seen before." ...

Unlike active galaxies that constantly pull in surrounding material, these black holes lie dormant, waking briefly to feast ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has made its mark by capturing its first-ever observations of tidal disruption events ...

A collision observed between two black holes, each more massive than a hundred suns, is the largest merger of its kind ever ...

Plenty of groups have been theorizing about primordial black holes (PBHs) recently. That is in part because of their ...

For more than 150 years, the OJ 287 galaxy and its brightness variations five billion light years away has both puzzled and ...

Scientists working to study black holes use specific radio frequencies to track black holes, the same frequencies often used ...

These black hole explosions, powered by Hawking radiation — a quantum process where black holes generate particles from the vacuum due to their intense gravitational fields — could be detected ...

Star AT 2022dbl wandered close to black hole but was only partially destroyed; Tel Aviv University researchers say discovery ...

Traditionally thought to go silent after a brief flare of activity, some black holes are now being observed emitting new ...

But this introduced a massive problem. Information flows into black holes as they consume matter, and that information can't escape. But Hawking radiation doesn't carry any information with it.

"For black holes with masses larger than a few times that of the Sun, Hawking radiation is nearly undetectable," Marco Calzà, a theoretical physicist at the University of Coimbra in Portugal and ...
