The formation of galaxies in the universe should follow a fairly simple path. It starts with small galaxies, which then grow ...

As we gaze into the universe, we've discovered most galaxies have a supermassive black hole lurking near the center.

The findings call into question just how finely tuned our universe really is. Somewhere in the multiverse, there could be universes more predisposed to forming stars, and possibly life ...

Buried in the treasure trove of the Gaia catalog were two strange black hole systems. These were black holes orbiting ...

Peculiar James Webb Space Telescope observations seem to show gargantuan black holes in the earliest moments of the universe. New research may explain how they formed, thanks to primordial "seeds".

From the winding down of clocks to the death of stars, everything seems destined to eventually grind to a halt. But there's one really, really big thing to which this doesn't seem to apply, at all.

New research uncovers how black holes inherit magnetic fields from collapsing neutron stars, explaining their powerful jets.

But the Webb may have just identified a solution to the dilemma as well. It has spotted a black hole that appears to have been feeding at 40 times the theoretical limit for millions of years, allowing ...
