Mathematical quirks of our universe have led some cosmologists to wonder whether the cosmos was actually born in a black hole. Parallels in the physics of the universe and that of black holes have led ...

Images taken of the Universe's most photogenic black hole over time reveal strange and exciting changes in its magnetic field. Using observations obtained using the Event Horizon Telescope in 2017, ...

Listen to more stories on the Noa app. To study the origins of our universe is to struggle with profound chicken-or-egg questions. We know the Big Bang happened. Cosmologists can see its afterglow in ...

Supermassive black holes may not be as massive as previously thought, according to a new discovery by scientists. Astronomers from the University of Southampton, working with colleagues from France, ...

In a recent piece for my column The Universe, I wrote about the biggest black holes in the cosmos. These can tip the scales at many billions of times the sun’s mass, outweighing even entire galaxies.

A black hole is growing at one of the fastest rates ever recorded, according to a team of astronomers. This discovery from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory may help explain how some black holes can ...

One of the first black holes ever imaged is even stranger than we thought, new images of its dramatically changing environment reveal. The object, known as M87*, has experienced unexpected changes in ...

New observations of M87*, the first black hole ever imaged, revealed that the supermassive blackhole has experienced several magnetic flips in the last decade. reading time 3 minutes In 2019, ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Black holes usually form from stars that burn out and collapse in on themselves, but that cannot explain the red spark of light that could be a ...

The younger black hole, the product of a cataclysmic cosmic event known as a black hole merger, was first spotted in 2019. Now, about 6 years later, a team of international researchers led by the ...

In this handout photo provided by the National Science Foundation, the Event Horizon Telescope captures a black hole at the center of galaxy M87 in an image released on April 10, 2019. (Photo by ...

A black hole unlike any seen before has been spotted in the early universe. It’s huge and appears to be essentially on its own, with few stars circling it. The object, which may represent a whole new ...
