Scientists Make Major Black Hole Discovery That Could Explain Stephen Hawking's Greatest Mystery
The discovery could improve our understanding of how black holes lose energy and may help solve long-standing mysteries such as the black hole information paradox.

Chandra Captures Sharpest-Ever X-Ray View of M87 Black Hole Jet
Using 13 years of observations, NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory produced its sharpest-ever view of the jet from M87's supermassive black hole. The data reveal new structures, cooling particles, and magnetic fields that help scientists understand how black holes shape galaxies.

Scientists Discover Giant Planet Formation Around Supermassive Black Holes
New research suggests that supermassive black holes may host the formation of giant planets within their surrounding dusty disks.

JWST Reveals the True Identity of Mysterious Little Red Dots
Using JWST, astronomers obtained the most detailed spectrum yet of a little red dot and found evidence that these mysterious objects are rapidly growing black holes wrapped in dense gas. The discovery could explain why they appear, shine red, and eventually disappear from the cosmic record.

James Webb Space Telescope Weighs Most Distant Dormant Black Hole Ever Detected
Using JWST and a natural gravitational lens, astronomers measured a six-billion-solar-mass dormant black hole more than 10 billion light-years away. The discovery offers a rare glimpse into how galaxies and black holes evolved when the universe was just three billion years old.

Scientists Finally Detect Wind Streaming From Milky Way's Central Supermassive Black Hole
Peering into the heart of our own galaxy is incredibly difficult. "To observe our own black hol

Scientists Find Long-Sought Cosmic Wind Erupting From Supermassive Black Hole
The discovery is based on observations showing a large cone-shaped cavity near Sgr A.

James Webb Space Telescope Detects Most Distant Dormant Black Hole Ever Found
JWST has identified the most distant dormant black hole ever observed, a six-billion-solar-mass giant in galaxy MRG-M0138. Seen when the universe was only three billion years old, the discovery provides rare evidence that black holes and galaxies evolved together in the early cosmos.

Study Reveals Some Supermassive Black Holes May Have Been Born Big
According to researchers, some of these black holes may have formed without first going through a stellar collapse phase.

NASA Captures Supermassive Black Hole "Feasting" On Its Surroundings 60 Million Light-Years Away
NASA revealed that this black hole is about 60 million light-years from Earth and has a mass of two million Suns.
-
JWST Discovers Ancient Black Hole Older Than Its Own Galaxy
JWST has identified a supermassive black hole from the early universe that outweighs most of its own galaxy, suggesting black holes may form before galaxies themselves.
-
Most Powerful Neutrino Ever Detected May Have Come From a Blazar
A 220 PeV neutrino detected beneath the Mediterranean Sea may have originated from a distant blazar. Simulations suggest these powerful black hole systems can generate ultra-high-energy ghost particles.

Scientists Discover 77 Rare Red Quasars Hidden Behind Cosmic Dust
Scientists have discovered 77 rare red quasars hidden behind cosmic dust using NASA’s SPHEREx telescope. The findings support theories linking galaxy mergers to rapid black hole growth and galaxy evolution.
-
New Black Hole Study Suggests Singularities May Not Exist
A new study suggests charged black holes may avoid singularities through quantum effects and Hawking radiation. The findings could reshape theories of gravity, space-time, and even the origins of dark matter.

Study Finds Potential Dark 'Matter Imprint' In Gravitational Waves
Scientists emphasised that more observations and analysis are required before any confirmed detection of dark matter can be claimed.
