The financial black hole in social services equates to more than one third of councils' total overspend in this financial year, according to a local government body
A massive star was torn apart by a supermassive black hole, producing the most powerful and distant flare ever observed, glowing with the light of 10 trillion suns.
Astronomers spotted a flaring black hole that may be consuming a star at least 30 times more massive than the sun. At its peak, the flare was brighter than 10 trillion stars.
A colossal black hole 10 billion light-years away has been caught devouring one of the universe’s biggest stars, unleashing a flare 30 times brighter than any seen before. The flare, detected by Caltech’s ZTF, likely marks a tidal…
By Blaise Udunze Nigeria’s banking sector has entered a season of reckoning. Eight of the nation’s biggest banks have collectively booked N1.96 trillion in impairment charges in just the first nine months of 2025 which represents a…
New study reveals, for the first time, a tidal disruption event (TDE), where a black hole tears apart a star, occurring outside the center of a galaxy that produced exceptionally strong and rapidly evolving radio signals. This rare…
By Ashley Strickland, CNN (CNN) — Astronomers have spotted the largest and most distant flare ever observed from a supermassive black hole. Nicknamed “Superman,” the flare originated 10 billion light-years from Earth, and at its peak, the…
Astronomers have discovered a black hole that released energy equivalent to 10,000 billion suns. But many mysteries surround this unique event, and further studies will need to be conducted.
Physicists from Goethe University Frankfurt and the Tsung-Dao Lee Institute in Shanghai have taken a new approach to one of the most profound mysteries in science: whether all black holes conform to Einstein’s theory of general relativity…
Learn what a black hole is, how it forms, and how astronomers detect it. Understand the science behind black holes and their role in shaping the universe.
Black holes are considered cosmic gluttons, from which not even light can escape. That is also why the images of black holes at the center of the galaxy M87 and our Milky Way, published a few years ago by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT)…
