Black hole News

A new study shows that supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies are growing at a much faster rate than thought. The study suggests SMBHs do not grow primarily by galactic mergers as previously thought but by absorbing matter piecemeal.

NASA scientists believe they may have found the youngest black hole in the Milky Way galaxy formed only about 1,000 years ago, and it is not very far away from Earth, only about 26,000 light-years away.

Scientists with NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory have discovered what is believed to be the newest black hole to have formed in the Milky Way galaxy.

Famous people are often asked to star in ads, but would you believe that Stephen Hawking chose to star in an auto insurance ad? And not only that, even end the ad with an evil chuckle?

Antofagasta - Scientists have announced the discovery of what they believe to be a record-breaking blast of gas and dust being ejected from a black hole more than 11.5 billion light-years away.

The Trapezium of stars that make up the famed Orion's Sword of the Nebula Cluster of the same namesake have always been cloaked in mystery regarding their rapid movement. Scientists say they may have found the culprit: a Black Hole of 200 solar masses.

University Park - NASA announced that their Swift satellite recorded a rising tide of high-energy X-rays, revealing the existence of a previously unknown black hole near the center of the Milky Way Galaxy.

Pasadena - NASA has launched an X-ray space telescope to study black holes and other hard-to-see objects in our galaxy in more detail.

Indianapolis - Are universes inside giant black holes? Is our entire universe located inside a wormhole? This is not science-fiction, but it could answer various cosmic mysteries that plague scientists across the globe (or universe?).

Researchers believe that they may have found the heartbeat of the smallest black hole. They were using NASA’s Rossi X-ray Timing Explorer when they made the discovery.
