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.

NASA Goddard Space Flight Center runs down the best-known Black Holes in the Milky Way galaxy and the Large Magellanic Cloud.

Traditional black holes, as predicted by Albert Einstein's theory of General Relativity, contain what are known as singularities, i.e. points where the laws of physics break down. Identifying how ...

NASA frequently shares cosmic images, revealing intriguing details about star-forming regions, black holes, galaxies and ...

Researchers said on Thursday that they had discovered twin-lobed radio jets they suspect were formed when the universe was ...

Don't let the name fool you. Black holes might all have hearts of pure darkness, but many cloak themselves in rings of fire that blaze like little else in the cosmos. That doesn't mean all are ...

Space experts have uncovered a massive swarm of new supermassive black holes that could blow theories about galaxies wide open. A team of scientists using data from two NASA telescopes revealed ...

Jets from black holes trigger cooling in the hot gas, causing it to condense into warm filaments. These filaments then flow toward the black hole, feeding it, and the cycle repeats. Brightness ...
