If confirmed, this disappearing act might provide the closest and best observational evidence for the birth of a black hole ...

A burst of X-rays from 8 billion years ago may be the first clear evidence of a white dwarf torn apart by a black hole.

An ancient, fast-feeding quasar is breaking the rules of how black holes consume matter and generate galaxy-shaping jets.

Astronomers have confirmed the first isolated stellar-mass black hole drifting through the Milky Way, located roughly 5,000 ...

During the survey, researchers identified a promising 8.19-millisecond pulsar (MSP) candidate located close to Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy.

Scientists have long suspected that active supermassive black holes can kill their own host galaxies, but new research suggests these cosmic titans are more like serial killers that can extend their ...

Webb telescope data confirm a supermassive black hole fleeing its galaxy, carving a 200,000 light-year wake of new stars.

A ‘runaway’ black hole ejected from its host galaxy is barrelling across space — and leaving behind a wake of newborn stars.

Astronomers report a supergiant star in the Andromeda Galaxy, M31-2014-DS1, collapsed directly into a black hole without a supernova, confirming predictions of failed stellar explosions.

A massive star 2.5 million light-years away simply vanished — and astronomers now know why. Instead of exploding in a supernova, it quietly collapsed into a black hole, shedding its outer layers in a ...

For a few brief nights each year, you get a rare chance to watch a monster blink. The Event Horizon Telescope collaboration ...

Scientists scanning the heart of the Milky Way have spotted a tantalizing signal: a possible ultra-fast pulsar spinning every 8.19 milliseconds near Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at our ...
