In the vicinity of black holes, space is so warped that even light rays may curve around them several times.

The black hole’s gravity, which exists in three dimensions, mathematically connects to the particles dancing above it, which exist in 2D.

Astronomers have for the first time discovered what may be a free-floating black hole by observing the brightening of a more distant star.

In the vicinity of a black hole, space curves so much that light rays are deflected and may curve around them several times.

Newly discovered black holes in dwarf galaxies shed light on the origin of our galaxy's central supermassive black hole.

As astronomers look out at the distant cosmos, it’s only natural that they would also look inward, to the center of our own Milky Way.

New discovery opens the door for scientists to see ideas in action that were previously only understood in theory or represented in science.

Research team has discovered a supermassive black hole in the early Universe that could provide the missing link in the evolution of quasars

Astronomers have identified a rapidly growing black hole in the early universe that is considered a crucial "missing link".

Research conducted aboard the International Space Station is helping scientists answer questions about the formation of the universe

How can Einstein's theory of gravity be unified with quantum mechanics? This is a challenge that could yield deep insights into black holes.

Black holes are more than just massive objects that swallow everything around them—they're also one of the universe's biggest energy sources

Researchers have confirmed that a possible microlensing event witnessed in 2011 was due to the presence of a rogue black hole.

Physicists looked at specific features of light to figure out the closest you can get to a black hole without having to prevent disaster.

How many black holes are out there in the Universe? This is one of the most relevant and pressing questions in modern cosmology.

Astronomers have discovered an unusually massive black hole at the heart of one of the Milky Way’s dwarf satellite galaxies, called Leo I.

Watch as eight stars skirt a black hole 1 million times the mass of the Sun in these supercomputer simulations.

Astronomers have discovered a small black hole outside the Milky Way by looking at how it influences the motion of a star in its vicinity.

A team of international scientists have unveiled the largest number of gravitational waves ever detected.

On isolated mountaintops across the planet, it is time to look at the supermassive black hole at the heart of our Milky Way galaxy.
