'I'm excited for new telescopes to probe even dimmer blazars in the future.' Astronomers are using 100 newly found supermassive black holes as a laboratory for extreme physics experiments.

A Dark Central Mass is Lurking at the Hub of a Glittering Stellar Island Gravitational traps in space, black holes, come in different sizes. Or more correctly, different masses, because they are all ...

Okay, perhaps the title here is a bit of an exaggeration, but this black hole lamp made by [Will Donaldson] is an interesting approach to creating a black hole simulation without destroying the earth.

Data from the Hubble Space Telescope about the nearby M4 globular cluster suggests a rare midsize black hole may be lurking ...

Black holes, although emitting no light of their own, interact with their environment because of their enormous gravitational ...

Theoretically, any massive object can become a Black Hole. The Schwarzschild radius of the Earth is about 9mm. So if you compress the radius of the earth to smaller than 9mm, the space-time ...

Astronomers using the NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope have come up with what they say is some of their best evidence yet for the presence of a rare class of intermediate-sized black holes ...

Hello, everyone, and welcome back to This Week in Space: all the space news fit to print, accurate to within an order of ...

These black holes are nicknamed 'blazars' because they are shooting explosive jets of matter and radiation directly at Earth. The extreme environments of black holes are perfect to test physics to ...
