Latest about Black Holes
"This wind is unlike anything on Earth."
After searching for 50 years, astronomers have finally discovered powerful winds blowing from Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the heart of our galaxy.
New research suggests primordial black holes born during the Big Bang could live much longer than previously estimated — long enough to become energy-spewing white holes.
This could change our understanding of how the cosmic titans collide.
"It's a paradigm shift, a total revisiting of the classical scenarios of how black holes form and grow."
"We have never observed such a high-energy neutrino before, and if it turns out to come from cosmic accelerators like blazars, it would give us new insight into how these objects can emit particles at energies beyond what we previously expected."
Powerful bright blue cosmic explosions called Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients could be caused when a black hole or neutron star slams into the universe's hottest class of star.
Merging black holes and neutron stars have unusual oval orbits prior to colliding and merging, which challenge the laws of physics.
