Black holes are among the Universe's coolest oddities ... described only in negative-curved two dimensions – a saddle-shaped plane – rather than a three-dimensional sphere in an otherwise flat space.

New research challenges our understanding of black holes, proposing they may not be cosmic dead ends after all.

Many of these prior studies have focused on low-luminosity sources with sphere-like "accretion flows" feeding the black holes. That is because it has been challenging to model the theoretically ...

Black holes are points in space that are so dense they create deep gravity sinks. Beyond a certain region, not even light can escape the powerful tug of a black hole's gravity. And anything that ...

PORTLAND, Ore. (KATU) — There are plenty of weird things floating around in space and black holes may be the weirdest. They’ve certainly sparked and stretched our imaginations, even in popular ...
