But in the past two decades, new types of black holes have been seen and astronomers are beginning to understand how they ...

Black holes were thought to arise from the collapse of dead stars. But a Webb telescope image showing the early universe hints at an alternative pathway.

Gargantua, the black hole featured in the film "Interstellar," looks decidedly different from the black holes that typically grace science articles. The image was made with the help of theoretical ...

Finding supermassive black holes with masses billions of times greater than the sun under a billion years after the Big Bang has scientists confused how these cosmic titans got so big so quickly.

Theories predicted the source must be a black hole. If one orbits a star closely, its ridiculously strong gravity can draw in matter from that star. This material spirals into the black hole and ...

The new study shows that plunging "gas flows" near a black hole can draw energy from its spin, becoming much more violent than scientists thought possible.

A pencil and a paper is all you need to draw these magical anamorphic black holes that will make your brain think that there is a whole different dimension under your table. Optical Get the best ...

Space artists, who have been drawing black holes based on theory for decades, weigh in with their thoughts on the first direct image of a black hole.

The animation, which simulates the view of someone falling into a black hole, demonstrates how the bizarre objects warp light and space as you approach them.

For a half century, mathematicians have tried to define the exact circumstances under which a black hole is destined to exist. A new proof shows how a cube can help answer the question.
