Scientists at NASA revealed evidence that demonstrates that M87 contains a supermassive black hole located at its center.

New research suggests black holes may transition into 'white holes', ejecting matter and potentially even time back into the universe, defying our current understanding of these cosmic giants.

"The higher the spin, the more energy the black hole can release." Black holes may leak more energy to their surroundings than previously suspected — and the faster these voids spin, the more ...

Astronomers have discovered a record-breaking ultra-massive black hole, weighing 36 billion solar masses, at the heart of the Cosmic Horseshoe gravitational lensing system, challenging our ...
