Israeli research reveals a star's survival from black hole bout - and comeback for round two
A star in a distant galaxy was ripped apart by a supermassive black hole. But Israeli scientists say it survived and came back a second time - a discovery that upends scientific consensus.
Scientists detect the most massive black hole merger ever observed
Scientists create 'black hole bomb' in laboratory for the first time
Infrared telescopes discover hundreds of previously undetected supermassive black holes
Astronomers detect rare X-ray flares from black hole 1ES 1927+654 caused by a nearby white dwarf
The observations revealed features never before seen in real time around a supermassive black hole. Among them was the launch of a plasma jet moving at nearly one-third the speed of light.
Twin stars orbit Milky Way's supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*
It was previously thought that the gravitational forces around a black hole were too extreme for such a star system to survive.
Super-Eddington black hole LID-568 devours matter at record rate, defying growth theories
Discovery may explain rapid mass growth of supermassive black holes in early universe.
New study suggests black holes may be sources of dark energy driving universe's expansion
If the hypothesis that black holes are related to dark energy is proven correct, it would revolutionize conventional knowledge about black holes and dark energy.
Astronomers observe black hole that may have formed gently
Black holes have previously been spotted orbiting with one other star or one other black hole in what are called binary systems.
Black holes made galaxies in early universe look 'impossibly large' - study
Scientists using data from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope may have solved the mystery of massive galaxies existing way too early. Black holes just made them look brighter.
WATCH: Rise and shine: Scientists watch black hole 'wake up' and emit light in far-off galaxy
The phenomenon that was observed is known as an active galactic nucleus, which is when the supermassive black hole start to shine even brighter due to the activity at the galactic core.
Scientists explain missing black holes, dark matter with new model - study
Japanese researchers have proposed a new model for the formation of primordial black holes that could help explain the mysteries of dark matter and the early universe.
Israeli, international astronomers detect Milky Way's second-largest known black hole
Gaia BH3 is the largest-known stellar black hole, according to astronomer and study co-author Tsevi Mazeh of the Tel Aviv University in Israel.
Twisted magnetic field observed around Milky Way's central black hole
Black holes are extraordinarily dense objects with gravity so strong that not even light can escape, making viewing them extremely challenging.
Researchers find 'excessively' large red supermassive black hole in early universe - study
A large and red supermassive black hole was found in a distant galaxy during the early years of the universe is excessively big for its galaxy, raising more questions about early galaxy formation.
