Space-time curvature around a black hole might sound abstract, but understanding it is crucial to grasp the nature of these ...

Black holes twist the very fabric of space and time, bending light cones so drastically that time and space swap roles, transforming the horizon from a place into a moment, and the center into an ...

Primordial black holes (PBHs) are classically stable, but as shown by Stephen Hawking in 1975, they can evaporate via quantum effects, radiating nearly like a blackbody.Thus, they have a lifetime ...

the curvature of space-time is infinite. The vortex is inescapable; it has a spherical boundary that traps anything falling inside, even light rays. It took decades for physicists to accept that these ...

A new University of Leicester study shows how the uncontrolled growth of a distant supermassive black hole (SMBH) is revealed ...

Could Mysterious Black Hole Burps Rewrite Physics?

Using machine learning to analyse data from a powerful black hole observatory, researchers found the black hole at the centre ...

Astronomers detect an ultramassive black hole weighing 36 billion suns in the galaxy LRG 3-757, a record thanks to ...

Studying black holes helps in understanding gravity, space and time which offer clues about the fundamental laws that govern the universe. The black hole carries various facts and secrets which we ...

The brutal star-destroying tidal disruption event is only the second ever seen in interacting galaxies. Astronomers have taken a detailed look at a rare and incredibly violent cosmic event ...

Most large galaxies are thought to have massive black holes in their cores, and since galaxies often collide and merge as they move through space, large galaxies should occasionally harbor more ...

Black holes continue to grip our imagination. These cosmic powerhouses twist space and time so intensely that even light cannot escape once it crosses a certain boundary. Their defining edge—the ...
