Researchers have observed a supermassive black hole savoring its last meal as only pieces of the object are being torn off every year it passes by. Continue reading at TweakTown >

Scientists have spotted a slow-digesting black hole that is taking its time eating its last meal. The black hole in question was discovered during a …

So much science news this week. It's like a torrential deluge of information bursting explosively through a levee of ignorance. Who built that levee, anyway? How did they get that through the legislature? Anyway, of the hundreds of stories…

Giant black holes in the centers of galaxies like our own Milky Way are known to occasionally munch on nearby stars.

A team of astronomers has observed a star in a distant galaxy repeatedly interacting with a supermassive black hole. Initially thought to be destroyed in 2018, the star survived and has since made periodic close passes, leading to…

Supermassive black holes have masses of more than a million suns – but their growth has slowed as the universe aged

In 1971, English mathematical physicist and Nobel-prize winner Roger Penrose proposed how energy could be extracted from a rotating black hole. He argued that this could be done by building a harness around the black hole's accretion disk,…

Nearly 12 years after a social media post resurfaced, a UFC Hall of Famer has issued a warning over "black hole" of conspiracy theories.

Researchers at the University of Helsinki have advanced our understanding of black holes using supercomputer simulations, revealing how magnetic fields cause turbulence that heats plasma and produces X-ray radiation observable from Earth.…

Mini black hole system can power roaming rogue planets without their own star, research says

"The most efficient engine that I ever thought about."

In 1971, English mathematical physicist and Nobel-prize winner Roger Penrose proposed how energy could be extracted from a rotating black hole. He argued that this could be done by building a harness around the black hole’s accretion disk,…

A tiny fraction of known black holes emit X-ray signals that resemble a human "heartbeat." Now, new research may finally explain the strange phenomenon.
