Since it turned on, the James Webb Space Telescope has revealed dozens of mysterious red blobs in space. The so-called Little ...

Supermassive black holes rarely travel alone. Most large galaxies hide one at the center, and when galaxies collide, the two ...

Scientists believe that when galaxies collide and merge, the supermassive black holes at their centers should eventually pair ...

Supermassive black hole binaries form naturally when galaxies merge, but scientists have only confidently observed a very few of these systems that are widely separated. Black hole binaries that ...

A massive star in the nearby Andromeda galaxy has simply disappeared. Some astronomers believe that it's collapsed in on itself and formed a black hole.

Researchers at Oxford University and the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute) are ...

How astronomers used gravitational lensing, a space-time trick predicted by Einstein, to detect a black hole measuring 30 billion times the mass of the sun.

When the James Webb Space Telescope sent its first high-definition infrared images back to Earth, astronomers noticed several tiny, glowing, crimson stains. These objects, quickly named “Little Red ...
