Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) can have billions of solar masses, and observational evidence suggests that all large ...

Black hole light echoes are an extreme form of gravitational lensing. To measure the masses and spins of black holes, ...

Black holes exert a tremendous influence on their surroundings, meaning that when they spin, they literally drag the very fabric of space and time around with them. That means nothing can sit still ...

A radical hypothesis suggesting black holes could be behind the accelerating expansion of our universe has been stirring up ...

Astrophysicists have developed a method to detect light echoes from black holes, potentially revolutionizing the measurement ...

Primordial black holes may be exploding throughout the universe. If we can catch them in the act, it could pave the way to ...

As we gaze into the universe, we've discovered most galaxies have a supermassive black hole lurking near the center.

How astronomers used gravitational lensing, a space-time trick predicted by Einstein, to detect a black hole measuring 30 ...

A team of astrophysicists, led by scholars from the Institute for Advanced Study, has developed an innovative technique to ...

Nijmegen master's students predict that LISA, an upcoming space antenna project by the ESA, will detect stronger ...

The gravitational field of a rotating black hole is powerful and strange. It is so powerful that it warps space and time back ...

Scientists are now claiming that primordial black holes may be heating up and exploding throughout the universe. Detection of ...
