NASA Goddard Space Flight Center runs down the best-known Black Holes in the Milky Way galaxy and the Large Magellanic Cloud.

Chandra X-ray Observatory observations of the Perseus galaxy cluster's black hole and M87's jet have been turned into sound ...

A bizarre, record-breaking neutrino detected in 2023 may have originated from an exploding primordial black hole—a relic from the early universe. Scientists suggest these black holes could carry a ...

Scientists flew the XL-Calibur telescope on a high-altitude balloon to measure polarized X-rays from Cygnus X-1. These measurements reveal details about the chaotic, superheated material swirling ...

Physicists have long believed that black holes explode at the end of their lives, and that such explosions happen—at most—only once every 100,000 years. But new research published in Physical Review ...

A new simulation could help solve one of astronomy’s longstanding mysteries—how supermassive black holes formed so rapidly—along with a new one: What are the James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) ...

Nearly every massive galaxy observed hosts a supermassive black hole at its center. NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope has discovered that some of these supermassive black holes may even be too big for ...

There are black holes that are too big to be born from the death of a star but aren’t quite supermassive either. There’s finally evidence for where those came from. The evolutionary theory of stars ...
