Black Hole Swarm Detected in Ancient Star Cluster in the Milky Way
Astronomers have made a groundbreaking discovery: a swarm of over 100 stellar-mass black holes is traversing through the Milky Way within the star cluster known as Palomar 5. This extraordinary cluster,
Newly discovered black hole jets span more than 140 Milky Way galaxies long
Astronomers have discovered twin black hole jets that span a distance greater than 140 Milky Way galaxies long, the biggest jets found yet.
Scientists uncover the origins of the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole
Astronomers have long been puzzled by the origins of supermassive black holes—enormous objects found at the center of most galaxies, including our own Milky Way. These black holes can weigh millions or even billions of times more than the sun.
Astronomers Theorize There’s a Cluster of Black Holes Moving Around Our Galaxy
Black holes hold some of the universe’s greatest mysteries, with giant empty spots in space sucking in whatever enters their gravitational pull. However, the mystery is now growing as astronomers are now saying there could be a swarm of black holes moving across the Milky Way.
Mysterious Signal Hints at The Smallest Black Hole Ever Detected
There's only one thing it could be: a black hole, one with a petite size that's smack bang in the middle of a mysterious void in the data known as the lower mass gap. Named G3425, it might have a lot to teach us about tiny black holes according to an analysis.
Astronomers just detected the biggest black hole jets ever seen—and named them Porphyrion
The largest known black hole jets, 23 million light years across, have been discovered in the distant universe. This pair of particle beams launched by a supermassive black hole is over a hundred times larger than our galaxy,
