Quasars — galactic cores containing active supermassive black holes — are among the most ancient things in the universe. As dust and gas accelerate toward the quasar's central black hole, the ...
NASA have captured the “most distant” black hole merger ever obtained but you’ll need the eyes of an eagle to spot it. Recent ...
Over 100 years on, scientists have finally confirmed one of Albert Einstein's theories about the nature of black holes. In 1915, Einstein predicted that black holes should have a 'plunging ...
Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have gotten the first-ever look at the light of ancient stars shining around some of the biggest, brightest and oldest black holes in the ...
ASTRONOMERS have discovered supermassive Death Star black holes unleashing powerful plasma beams that eerily change direction ...
Black holes have a profound impact on their environments. As gas falls towards a super-massive black hole its gravitational potential energy can be converted to heat and light, in some instances ...
Primordial black holes are one of the strongest candidates for the universe's missing dark matter. But a new theory suggests that not enough of the miniature black holes formed for this to be the ...
A computer-generated image of a black hole in front a rich star field. The black hole distorts starlight into a brilliant ring around itself. A black hole is a region in space where gravity has ...
The most luminous object ever detected has been spied in the distant Universe. It's a quasar - the bright core of a galaxy that is powered by a gargantuan black hole some 17 billion times the mass ...
Some of the world's leading scientists have proven one of Albert Einstein's theories about black holes to be absolute correct ...
May 29, 2024 — Researchers have applied the well-understood and highly verified quantum field theory, usually applied to the study of the very small, to a new target, the early universe.
