Primordial Black Holes (PBHs) have recently received much attention in the physics community. One of the primary reasons is the potential link to dark matter. In effect, if PBHs can be proven to exist, there’s a very good chance that they…
The supermassive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way appears to have an 'exhaust vent' that helps to channel hot gas away to the outer regions of the black hole.
One longstanding mystery in astronomy is how supermassive black holes got so heavy so early. JWST has shown evidence that supermassive black holes were already active and feeding 13 billion years ago. These are quasars, and they're so…
The onset of solar maximum has resulted in severe geomagnetic storms, with the possibility of aurora borealis events this weekend as far south as the northern United States. Do not be alarmed if you see awesome displays of light over your…
NASA's Chandra X-ray space telescope has spotted the supermassive black hole at the heart of our galaxy erupting, proving even quiet black holes like Sagittarius A* need to vent sometimes.
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have separated the light of a quasar from the light of its surrounding stars, providing insights into how the oldest black holes grew. Find out more about it in this article.
Some black hole pairs roll around each other in wobbly, egg-shaped orbits that could hold clues about their origins, gravitational wave measurements suggest.
The spacecraft XRISM has examined light from a distant galaxy that houses a supermassive black hole to determine the fate of matter in the void's gravitational thrall.
NASA’s new black hole visualizations simulate the dramatic effects of crossing the event horizon, highlighting the severe distortions in space-time and the eventual spaghettification near...
NASA has released new images that shed light on the eating habits of supermassive black holes. NASA has released new images that shed light on the eating habits of supermassive black holes, drawing on data from the retired Spitzer Space…
Hubble’s image of NGC 4951 highlights its bright spiral arms and active galactic nucleus, providing critical data for studying galaxy evolution. Bright, starry spiral arms...
Researchers are hoping that new images from NASA can help explain the voracious appetites of black holes and give scientists new information about some of the massive and largely unexplained regions of gravity.
The NHS trust which runs the Queen's Medical Centre and City Hospital, spent £71m more than expected over the last 12 months as a result of rising costs, strikes and growing demand
Primordial black holes left over from the Big Bang and no wider than a dime could be a prime target for NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Telescope after it launches in 2026.
