The scientists who precisely measure the position of Earth are in a bit of trouble. Their measurements are essential for the ...

A new census reveals that 35% of supermassive black holes are hidden behind dust, disrupting major galactic models.

A stronomers have discovered a supermassive black hole that's shooting a giant energy beam directly at Earth. The cosmic juggernaut, which is about as massive as 700 million suns, is taking aim at ...

Gravitational waves stretch and squeeze the fabric of space and time itself. When space/time is squeezed, pulsar pulses ...

Earth’s closest black hole isn’t a black hole after all. Back in 2020, a mission led by the European Southern Observatory reported the discovery of a black hole close to Earth.

Could Earth Survive Near An Active Black Hole? Earth is too far from Sagittarius A*—the supermassive black hole at the center ...

If Earth was (hypothetically) crushed into a black hole, it would be under an inch across. Today, many black holes form following the collapse of massive objects like stars, notably after violent ...

For decades, scientists have believed there should be black holes that fall between two well-known types. On one end are ...

A group of researchers recently simulated the event horizon of a man-made black hole in a lab. The new analog could help us learn more about the elusive radiation that is believed to be emitted by ...

A black hole likely lurks even closer to Earth than the supermassive Sagittarius A* at the center of our home Milky Way galaxy. Don’t panic, though.

For objects without a liquid core, PBHs might simply pass through and leave behind a straight tunnel, the study proposes. For example, a PBH with a mass of 10 22 grams — that’s a one with 22 zeros — ...
