Black holes are bounded by outer barriers called event horizons that prevent us from ever viewing their interiors or their hearts, singularities at which all known laws of physics collapse.

Previously, all of the black holes ever found have been detected thanks to the way their gravity bends the light from orbiting 'companion stars'. Theoretical estimates suggest there could be up to ...

In contrast to the popular idea of black ... We all know that black holes can devour stars, rip them apart and consume their remnants. But that only happens if a star passes too close to a black hole.
