Supermassive black holes clustered together are more common in the universe than previously thought, according to the study.
The new finding could help astronomers better understand how supermassive black holes interact with their host galaxies.
An announcement of a "major discovery" by the Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics has experts buzzing.
Extraordinary find is located 15 million light-years from Earth.
Cosmic heating can help directly investigate the earliest black holes, since it was likely driven by star systems called "black-hole binaries."
Famed astrophysicist weighs in on the "firewall paradox" debate.
The first ever "death by black hole" in a dwarf galaxy was observed using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory.
These exploding stars “switch off” their radio transmissions after emitting a strong beam of Gamma-rays, before turning into a black hole.
Physicists have long predicted that at some point, the entire universe will collapse. Scientists now say that this process could happen sooner than we think.
Researchers dig deep into the strange world of quantum mechanics and theoretical physics while discussing the link between quantum entanglement and wormholes.
NASA has spotted two supermassive black holes at the heart of a distant galaxy.
A small black hole could have a voracious appetite while consuming matter efficiently, something that was previously thought impossible.
Scientists have suggested the presence of a black hole that can be put right at the border between small and mid-sized black holes.
Astronomers believe the new findings will provide important clues about the growth history of the Milky Way’s black hole.
For the first time, astronomers have cracked the lid on black hole jets – the little understood, super powerful streams of matter sometimes emitted from the centers of black holes.
The new discovery suggests that there could be a “hunting ground for black holes” in the Milky Way galaxy.
Supermassive black hole growth is something of a mystery and researchers hope gravitational waves can provide new insight on this phenomenon.
Jets of material ejected from supermassive black holes can shape galaxies and affect star formation activity.
According to a new study, black holes might not be identical after all. They might have "hair" or other distinctive features.
Such a blast, detected with the help of the Magellanic Stream, could happen again in the future.
