Black holes are the most extreme objects in the universe, packing so much mass into so little space that nothing can escape.

Research team has used quantum computing and computer learning to describe what is believed to be the interior of a black hole.

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

Physicist Enrico Rinaldi, has used quantum computing and computer learning to describe what is believed to be the interior of a black hole.

Scientists relied on the holographic principle, which suggests that the two existing theories – particles and gravity – are equivalent.

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

Experts who are known for debunking black hole discoveries have found a dormant stellar-mass black hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud

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.

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".

An international team of astronomers has spotted the most distant astronomical object ever: a galaxy some 13.5 billion light-years away.

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

The galaxy, dubbed Alcyoneus, is a large radio galaxy that spans 16.3 million light-years or roughly 150x the span of the Milky Way galaxy.

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