Particles orbiting a black hole could collide at colossal energies, generating collision products that may offer valuable ...

Traditionally thought to go silent after a brief flare of activity, some black holes are now being observed emitting new bursts of energy years after devouring a star—"the equivalent of a cosmic burp, ...

These are rare occurrences—scientists estimate that the giant black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy gobbles a star ...

These black holes are the most distant and stable objects we know. Using a technique called very long baseline interferometry ...
