Astronomers spotted the largest flare ever released from a supermassive black hole as it snacked on a giant star.

Exploring how black holes may not erase information, revealing exciting possibilities for quantum computers and a deeper theory of gravity.

The Event Horizon Telescope only recently gave us the first images of the environment immediately surrounding a black hole.

For obvious reasons, we do not know what the inside of a black hole looks like. But thanks to theoretical physics, we can ask ...

Analysis suggests that the most luminous burst of light ever detected from a black hole — a fireworks show that was, at its peak, more than 10 trillion times brighter than the Sun — flared up as the ...

In October 2024 the network detected a clear signal that pointed back to a merger that occurred 700 million light-years away.

Learn what a black hole is, how it forms, and how astronomers detect it. Understand the science behind black holes and their ...
