Discoveries keep pouring out of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Researchers observed an unusual cluster, which they ...

"The biggest surprise of all was that the black hole was not located inside either of the two nuclei but in the middle. We asked ourselves: How can we make sense of this?" ...

Yale astronomer Pieter van Dokkum and a team of researchers have discovered an object in space they call the "Infinity" ...

“It’s the most massive [merger] so far,” says Mark Hannam, a physicist at Cardiff University, UK, and part of the LVK ...

A U.S. gravitational wave detector spotted a collision between fast-spinning “forbidden” black holes that challenge physics ...

An international team of physicists discovered the largest-ever merger of 2 black holes through a phenomenon known as gravitational waves.

How did supermassive black holes come to be? Astronomers have two hypotheses for their formation, and now one of them might have gotten the first tantalizing piece of direct evidence. Researchers ...

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

Particles orbiting a black hole could collide at colossal energies, generating collision products that may offer valuable ...

Astronomers using JWST and other telescopes found a supermassive black hole floating between two colliding galaxies — not in either galaxy center, but embedded in shocked gas. Why it matters: If ...

Astronomers have detected the signal of a colossal black hole in deep space that likely formed when two already-large black ...
