Primordial black holes may be exploding throughout the universe. If we can catch them in the act, it could pave the way to new physics, a study suggests. Primordial black holes (PBHs), which are ...

Black holes exert a tremendous influence on their surroundings, meaning that when they spin, they literally drag the very fabric of space and time around with them. That means nothing can sit ...

Astronomers have spotted a black hole that dates back to just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang — and the ancient monster is gobbling up matter at an astonishing rate. According to the ...

Black holes are the universe’s shadowy figures, with many millions of them roaming unseen in our galaxy alone. These cosmic heavyweights famously destroy anything that wanders too close ...
