Astronomers have long believed that pretty much every galaxy, no matter how big or small, has a supermassive black hole lurking right at its center. It's been one of those "everyone knows this" ideas ...

Computer simulations carried out by astronomers from the University of Groningen in collaboration with researchers from Germany, France and Sweden show that most of the (dark) matter beyond the Local ...

Supermassive black holes have been found at the center of almost every galaxy, sucking up anything unlucky to fall into its maw — including light itself — through unfathomable gravitational forces.

An international collaboration using the Low Frequency Array (LOFAR) has published an exceptionally detailed radio sky map, ...

A stellar black hole is one that’s created from the gravitational collapse of particularly massive stars, typically greater than eight solar masses. For context, one solar mass is about equivalent to ...
