Whether a galactic environment has the right conditions for habitable planets to form could depend on how the black hole in that galaxy is rotating.

An eavesdropper hiding inside a black hole could still obtain information about quantum objects on its outside, a finding ...

New research investigates how Hawking radiation from primordial black holes may have influenced cosmic formation.

Black holes may not be as life-destroying as we thought. A surprising study reveals that the powerful radiation from active ...

"Many supermassive black holes may lie concealed within dusty regions of the early universe, undetected," said astronomer Takafumi Tsukui.

Red specks in the early universe are puzzling astronomers, but a proposed explanation suggests they are the progenitors of ...

Feb. 19, 2025 — Within the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument's early data, scientists have uncovered the largest samples ever of intermediate-mass black holes and dwarf galaxies hosting an ...

Inside the event horizon, gravity supersedes all other forces of nature. Black holes form when a huge amount of matter is squeezed into a very small space. Cram enough matter into a given radius ...

The gravity of the situation: Although Einsteing himself argued against the existence of black holes, their existence was originally derived from Einstein’s formulation of what is now known as ...

Five decades ago, famed astrophysicist Stephen Hawking theorized that the Big Bang may have flooded the universe with tiny black holes. Now, researchers believe they may have seen one explode.
