Medicine & TechnologyNovel research suggests that supermassive black holes, located in the center of galaxies or galaxy clusters, could have originated from massive seed black holes that would explain its exponential mass growth rate.
For several years, the scientific consensus is that the dark mass in the middle of the Milky Way, designated Sagittarius A*, is a black hole - and a new study is challenging the widely-accepted notion.
Researchers were able to identify the mysterious hot-white plasma beams from black hole emissions. It is possible evidence of the Blandford-Znajek process.
Computer simulations show that head-on collisions between galaxies can STRIP them of matter, leaving the black holes at their centers with nothing to feast on.
Every colliding black hole or neutron star should send ripples ringing across spacetime. Experts may have just caught the first hint of gravitational wave background.
After several months of thorough analysis, an updated catalog of gravitational wave detections has been released by the LIGO Scientific Collaboration and the Virgo Collaboration.
A student from the University of Sydney has led a new paper describing the Apep star system - dubbed as "one of the exotic peacocks of the stellar world."
Gravitational-wave scientists reported that in the event of a collision and subsequent merging of two black holes, the resulting black hole "chirps" not just once, but multiple times.
How supermassive black holes formed over billions of years have remained a mystery to astronomers for years. A recent discovery of six galaxies and a supermassive black hole forming a cosmic web may explain its origins.
The origins of supermassive black holes remain unknown although scientists have several theories, such as multiple stars colliding. Observations of Messier 87 reveal more about the properties of black holes, including how the black hole as been wobbling.
