An ancient, fast-feeding quasar is breaking the rules of how black holes consume matter and generate galaxy-shaping jets.

A burst of X-rays from 8 billion years ago may be the first clear evidence of a white dwarf torn apart by a black hole.

Astronomers have confirmed the first isolated stellar-mass black hole drifting through the Milky Way, located roughly 5,000 ...

An unusual tidal disruption event spotted by astronomers may be the result of an elusive intermediate mass black hole ripping ...

If confirmed, this disappearing act might provide the closest and best observational evidence for the birth of a black hole ...

A massive star 2.5 million light-years away simply vanished — and astronomers now know why. Instead of exploding in a supernova, it quietly collapsed into a black hole, shedding its outer layers in a ...

During the survey, researchers identified a promising 8.19-millisecond pulsar (MSP) candidate located close to Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy.

The KM3NeT collaboration is a large research group involved in the operation of a neutrino telescope network in the deep ...

A ‘runaway’ black hole ejected from its host galaxy is barrelling across space — and leaving behind a wake of newborn stars.

Astronomers have witnessed a rare cosmic event: a massive star that didn’t explode in a spectacular supernova, but instead quietly collapsed into a black hole.

Scientists scanning the heart of the Milky Way have spotted a tantalizing signal: a possible ultra-fast pulsar spinning every 8.19 milliseconds near Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at our ...

Our Milky Way galaxy may not have a supermassive black hole at its center but rather an enormous clump of mysterious dark matter exerting the same gravitational influence, astronomers say. They ...
