Stellar black holes form when massive stars collapse after death. They usually weigh between three and fifty times the Sun.
Earlier this year, evidence of the most energetic neutrino ever detected was presented. It could have been created during the explosion of a black hole.

Using the wide-field survey capabilities of the Subaru Telescope, astronomers discovered active supermassive black holes, or ...
A team of researchers have used the James Webb Space Telescope to discover 12 ancient black holes from 12.9 billion years ago ...
Gravitational waves shake the very fabric of the universe when black holes collide. Today we measure these events and use them to understand the cosmos. Now University of Copenhagen researchers and ...
XRISM found dense winds from a neutron star disc differ from those around black holes, challenging ideas on how such winds form and shape their environment.
The X-Ray Imaging and Spectroscopy Mission (XRISM) has revealed an unexpected difference between the powerful winds launching ...
