Some black holes at the centers of galaxies have a buddy − but detecting these binary pairs isn’t easy

Every galaxy has a supermassive black hole at its center, much like every egg has a yolk. But sometimes, hens lay eggs with two yolks. In a similar way, astrophysicists like us who study supermassive black holes expect to find binary systems – two supermassive black holes orbiting each other…

To map the vibration of the universe, astronomers built a detector the size of the galaxy

Using the largest gravitational wave detector ever made, we have confirmed earlier reports that the fabric of the universe is constantly vibrating. This background rumble is likely caused by collisions between the enormous black holes that reside in the hearts of galaxies.

Naked singularities: how quantum black holes explain why we don’t see the end of space and time

Albert Einstein’s theory of gravity, general relativity, is famously incomplete. As proven by physics Nobel laureate Roger Penrose, when matter collapses under its own gravitational pull, the result is a “singularity” – a point of infinite density or curvature.

'Hidden black hole' devouring curious star exposed by new X-ray space telescope

In a "rite of passage," the JAXA/NASA X-ray telescope XRISM has mapped in detail Cygnus X-3, a curious binary system with a potential black hole feasting stellar winds blowing from a massive star.

Unusual black hole light bursts puzzle astronomers: 'We are finding a lot of weird stuff'

Astronomers have stumbled upon a pair of massive black holes in a distant galaxy that are triggering unusual bursts of light that may be caused by the black hole duo disrupting a massive gas cloud — a phenomenon researchers say is the first of its kind to be detected.

'Impossible' black holes discovered by the James Webb telescope may finally have an explanation

Peculiar James Webb Space Telescope observations seem to show gargantuan black holes in the earliest moments of the universe. New research may explain how they formed, thanks to primordial "seeds".

Supermassive black holes bent the laws of physics to grow to monstrous sizes

Scientists may have cracked one of the biggest mysteries in space science, determining that supermassive black holes bent the laws of physics to grow to their huge sizes.

Dark matter might make space-time ring like a bell around black holes — and we might be able to 'hear' it

To explain why dark matter particles haven't come up in any direct detection experiments, physicists have wondered if it may be a kind of particle known as an axion.

Egg-shaped galaxies may be aligned to the black holes at their hearts, astronomers find

Black holes don’t have many identifying features. They come in one colour (black) and one shape (spherical).
