The earliest and most distant supermassive black hole discovered thus far by JWST is CEERS 1019, which existed just 570 million years after the Big Bang and has a mass 9 million times that of the sun.

"Theories involving substantial formation of stars prior to or together with the black hole formation and growth are very ...

The search for dark matter requires all the best models, theories, and ideas we can throw at it. A new paper by Julia Monika ...

Did The universe really begin with a bang, a bounce? The theory that the universe is both possibly having endured a sudden contraction and then bounced into the expanding universe we know today is not ...

With the recent first light milestone for the Vera Rubin Observatory, it's only a matter of time before one of astronomy's most long-awaited surveys begins. The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) ...

Scientists may have found a new way to detect some of the universe's most mysterious objects, primordial black holes (PBHs), using Hawking radiation. This groundbreaking approach relies upon watching ...

These primordial black holes have been theorized for decades and could even be ever-elusive dark matter, the invisible matter that accounts for 85% of the universe’s total mass. Still, no primordial ...

Instead, they say that if primordial black holes exist and make up most of dark matter, "then one must travel through the inner solar system every one to 10 years." ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Imagine the formation of a black hole and you’ll probably envision a massive star running out of fuel and collapsing in on itself. Yet the chaotic conditions of the early universe may ...

"Primordial black holes do not live in the solar system. Rather, they're streaming through the universe, doing their own thing," said researcher Sarah Geller.

These primordial black holes have been theorized for decades and could even be ever-elusive dark matter, the invisible matter that accounts for 85% of the universe’s total mass.

If microscopic black holes born a fraction of a second after the Big Bang exist, then at least one may fly through the solar system per decade, generating tiny gravitational distortions that ...
