Astronomers may have finally cracked one of the universe’s biggest mysteries: how black holes grew so enormous so fast after ...

As gas falls toward a black hole, it heats up and shines. If the glow becomes intense enough, it can push incoming gas away. Astronomers call this balancing point the Eddington limit, and for decades ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) keep finding the same impossible thing: ancient supermassive black holes; monsters millions of times the sun’s mass, existing when the cosmos ...

The presence of supermassive black holes at the heart of the oldest galaxies deeply puzzles astronomers. How could these ...

Astronomers have long chased a hard question: how did black holes grow so huge so fast. Researchers at Maynooth University in ...

The early universe has a lot more massive black holes than suspected.

New simulations show flickering black hole signals arise from unstable shocks inside accretion discs, revealing how matter ...

Black holes themselves emit no light, but the matter spiralling into them forms a hot, dense accretion disc that radiates ...

New models explain how small black holes in the early universe beat the clock and grew into massive objects within millions ...

"It is exciting to think that Little Red Dots may represent the first direct observational evidence of the birth of the most ...

Astronomers have decoded the rhythmic flickers, or heartbeats, from black holes using advanced simulations, linking these oscillations to fluid dynamics near black holes.

A neutron star's final moments may spark violent starquakes, monster shock waves, and even a fleeting, never-before-seen object called a black hole pulsar. When you purchase through links on our site, ...
