Astronomers have made an extraordinary discovery, detecting the most massive black hole merger ever recorded. This unprecedented event, named GW 231123 after the date it was detected on November 23, ...

In any other year, the supermassive black hole mentioned above would probably scoop the award for most striking outburst, but not in 2025. This year, that accolade goes to a flare designated ...

Two black holes have collided in a merger that could revolutionize our understanding of black hole growth. Named GW 231123 after the date it was recorded on 23 November 2023, it's the most massive ...

For decades, scientists have known black holes often come in pairs. These binary systems feature a black hole locked in a gravitational dance with a nearby object—usually a star, neutron star, or ...

Astronomers have made a truly mind-boggling discovery using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST): a runaway black hole 10 ...

Stephen has degrees in science (Physics major) and arts (English Literature and the History and Philosophy of Science), as well as a Graduate Diploma in Science Communication. Stephen has degrees in ...

Welcome to the ultimate cosmic countdown! Today, we’re diving into the mysterious and mind-bending world of black holes with ...

Sometime in their cosmic lives, two gigantic black holes crashed into one another to form something even more monstrous: A black hole equal to the size of 240 of Earth's sun. Now, thanks to an ...

Discoveries keep pouring out of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Researchers observed an unusual cluster, which they dubbed the Infinity Galaxy. It appears to support a leading theory on how ...

The James Webb Space Telescope found a "figure-eight" galaxy with a possible newborn supermassive black hole (SMBH). This SMBH may have formed quickly from a colliding gas cloud, unlike the ...

Astronomers say they've discovered a new record holder for the most massive black hole merger to date. The merger is so big — roughly 255 solar masses — that it shouldn't technically be possible ...

The oldest confirmed black hole formed when the universe was a mere infant, within 500 million years of the Big Bang, researchers report. The James Webb Space Telescope, or JWST, saw the enormous ...
