For years, the James Webb Space Telescope has been spotting enormous black holes in the early universe that defy all ...

It's one of astronomy's great mysteries: how did black holes get so big, so massive, so quickly. An answer to this cosmic ...

New simulations suggest early black holes grew rapidly through intense feeding, helping explain why massive black holes appeared so soon after the Big Bang ...

Black holes don’t just bend space and time. They also expose where our understanding of reality begins to break.  In this ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has just delivered the clearest infrared portrait yet of the turbulent region wrapped around a ...

Black holes in the early Universe appear to have grown far faster than scientists once believed. Astronomers have long struggled to explain how black holes became enormous so early in the Universe’s ...

Astronomers have spotted a rare, rule-breaking quasar in the early Universe that appears to be growing its central black hole ...

"This is a structure we've never seen before, so it could be a new class of dark object." ...

Astronomers have confirmed the earliest, most distant black hole yet – and it's surprisingly monstrous for its time. Residing in a galaxy called CAPERS-LRD-z9, it was already approximately 300 million ...

The black hole was bigger than expected, and while the answer was hiding in plain sight, it still rewrites what we thought was possible. Reading time 4 minutes When LIGO broke news of an ...

One of the most notable aspects about our planet—if observed from the outside—is that it spins. Earth’s spin defines our days, setting the fundamental rhythm of life on our world. The moon spins, too.
