A stronomers have detected the signal of a colossal black hole in deep space that likely formed when two already-large black ...

The new black hole has more than 200 times the mass of our sun – and is challenging theories of how objects form in space ...

Yale astronomer Pieter van Dokkum and a team of researchers have discovered an object in space they call the "Infinity" ...

Astronomers have detected the most massive black hole merger ever observed, challenging stellar evolution and black hole formation theories.

It turns out there is a way to make a coloured black hole—as long as by colour you mean quantum chromodynamic charge. PBS Space Time is available to stream on pbs.org and the free PBS App ...

The first hint of a rogue black hole came when it passed in front of a dim background star in 2011. Black holes have so much gravity that they visibly warp the space around them.

Some scientists think black holes are back doors to other universes. If true, this theory could explain how all of the matter in our universe was created.

Black holes are points in space that are so dense they create deep gravity sinks. Beyond a certain region, not even light can escape the powerful tug of a black hole's gravity. And anything that ...

This artist’s illustration depicts a dwarf galaxy that hosts an active galactic nucleus — an actively feeding black hole. In the background are many other dwarf galaxies hosting active black ...

Everything you see in the sky – stars and galaxies, planets and moons, asteroids and comets, black holes and neutron stars, star clusters and nebulae – are yours to explore at the press of a ...

Although the black holes themselves are invisible, the clouds of dust and gas around them can get extremely hot and glow brightly, enabling telescopes to ‘see’ the black hole in detail.

"This rare event provides an opportunity for astronomers to observe a black hole's behavior in real time," said astronomer Lorena Hernández-García.
