A string of small gas clouds near the Milky Way’s central black hole has puzzled astronomers for years. Now, new observations ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Artist’s impression of a black hole star (not to scale). The cut-out reveals the central black hole with it surrounding accretion ...

New observations and simulations by a team of researchers led by MPE reveal that a massive binary star near our galaxy's ...

The findings suggest that while massive black holes are not required to explain observed data, the presence of intermediate-mass black holes remains entirely plausible.

Generally speaking, black holes are regions of spacetime where matter is compressed into a tiny space. Dark matter, meanwhile ...

An artist's concept of a tidal disruption event (TDE), which happens when a star passes close to a supermassive black hole. The gravity of the black hole pulls material from the star and launches a ...

A comprehensive set of simulations by Flatiron Institute astrophysicists and their colleagues revealed that magnetic fields are responsible for creating black holes with masses in a range previously ...

This is the first confirmed case of a star that survived an encounter with a supermassive black hole and came back for more. This discovery upends conventional wisdom about such tidal disruption ...

Scientists have traced a 3,000-light-year-long cosmic jet streaming out from the first black hole ever imaged to its likely source point with the help of "significantly enhanced coverage" from the ...

The findings suggest black holes could provide a cheaper, natural alternative to billion-dollar particle colliders, if we can figure out how to harness them. Reading time 2 minutes A new study from ...
