In a recent piece for my column The Universe, I wrote about the biggest black holes in the cosmos. These can tip the scales at many billions of times the sun’s mass, outweighing even entire galaxies.

A black hole is growing at one of the fastest rates ever recorded, according to a team of astronomers. This discovery from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory may help explain how some black holes can ...

Studying black holes is immensely difficult, but with gravitational wave detection, astrophysicists do have a way to directly analyze these mysterious objects. A new study details the “clearest ...

A black hole unlike any seen before has been spotted in the early universe. It’s huge and appears to be essentially on its own, with few stars circling it. The object, which may represent a whole new ...

Astronomers have detected a collision between two black holes in unprecedented detail, offering the clearest view yet into the nature of these cosmic oddities and confirming long-held predictions made ...

New observations of M87*, the first black hole ever imaged, revealed that the supermassive blackhole has experienced several magnetic flips in the last decade. reading time 3 minutes In 2019, ...

Scientists have for the first time ever succeeded in getting some data on a newborn black hole that was sent hurtling off into space after two larger ones collided together and "birthed" it. The ...

A supermassive black hole lurking at the center of M87, a supergiant galaxy 55 million light-years from Earth, is acting far more strangely than anticipated. Since 2017, astronomers from the Event ...

October 2, 2025: We checked to see if any new Murder Mystery 2 codes have been added, but none have been released. Murder Mystery 2 codes are still being searched for by players, which isn't ...

Ten years after scientists first detected gravitational waves emerging from two colliding black holes, the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration, a research team that includes Columbia astronomy professor ...

"This tells us that the magnetized plasma swirling near the event horizon is far from static; it's dynamic and complex, pushing our theoretical models to the limit." The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) ...

In the summer of 2022, less than a full month after the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) had begun to produce its first scientific images, astronomers noticed something unexpected: little red dots.
