Home > Science Astronomers Peer Through Stellar Dust to See Black Holes Eating Whole Stars Dormant black holes may be elusive, but research shows they aren't always as sleepy as they sound.

Astronomers suspect the giant black hole at the heart of the Milky Way may have collided with another black hole in just the past 10 million years. At the core of the galaxy, about 26,000 light ...

This collision of two galaxies could demonstrate that theorized “direct collapse black holes” exist.

At 225 solar masses, this gargantuan merger of two black holes challenges our thinking on these famously elusive objects.

Lightning might not strike twice, but black holes apparently do. An international group of researchers led by Tel Aviv University astronomers observed a flare caused when a star falls onto a black ...

Yale team discovers birth of supermassive black hole that could confirm how black holes are created By Austin Mirmina, Staff Writer July 18, 2025 ...

Scientists record a black hole collision they weren’t sure was possible The largest black hole collision ever recorded has scientists' jaws on the floor — and scratching their heads.

The merger wasn’t just the biggest ever, but also an event so rare that it challenges existing models for black hole genesis.

A collision observed between two black holes, each more massive than a hundred suns, is the largest merger of its kind ever recorded, according to new research.

Webb spots 'Infinity Galaxy' that sheds light on black hole formation It appears to support the 'direct collapse' theory.

Scientists say they detected the largest-ever merger of two black holes, forming one that is 225 times the mass of the sun, adding that the new discovery "pushes the limits of" how astronomers ...
