Black Hole Blues: At the Edge of Time, Space, and No Return

Black Hole is an entity which produces so strong force of gravity that nothing even light can escape.

Black holes can move and 'reawaken,' scientists say

Israeli research reveals a star's survival from black hole bout - and comeback for round two

 Scientists detect the most massive black hole merger ever observed.

Scientists unveil secrets of star violently torn apart near black hole

Astronomers have recently encountered numerous instances of "tidal disruption events."

 This artist’s impression depicts a star being torn apart by an intermediate-mass black hole (IMBH), surrounded by an accretion disc.

Black holes will die, evaporate away – and so will everything else - study

A recent study found that Stephen Hawking was correct about black holes dying by evaporating into Hawking radiation. But that fate could be shared by everything in the universe.

 This movie shows a complete revolution around a simulated black hole and its accretion disk following a path that is perpendicular to the disk (Illustrative).

Israeli astrophysicists may have solved the mystery of early massive galaxies

A new theoretical model made by Israeli astrophysicists reveals an excess of massive galaxies, in contrast to previously accepted theories.

The mystery of the runaway black hole - study

A mysterious trail of stars puzzled scientists for some time. While a theory posited this to be a supermassive black hole passing through a gas cloud, a simpler theory has now emerged.

 This is an artist's impression of a runaway supermassive black hole that was ejected from its host galaxy as a result of a tussle between it and two other black holes. As the black hole plows through intergalactic space it compresses gas and forms stars (Illustrative).

Scientists discover most powerful explosion ever witnessed in space - study

An explosion in space, dubbed AT2021lwx, is 10 times more powerful than a supernova and 3 times more than a star being devoured by a black hole – and it's been going on for 3 years.

Astronomers capture first image of a black hole expelling powerful jet

By observing the connection, scientists hope to better understand how black holes can launch energetic jets.

What are mysterious cosmic objects shining brighter than the sun?

They produce way more energy than the sun and appear to break a physical boundary called the Eddington limit - now scientist found a possible explanation.

 Swift X-ray observations of galaxy NGC 5408 indicate its ultraluminous X-ray source undergoes periodic changes every 115.5 days. This cycle, astronomers suspect, is linked to the orbit of a donor star around a middleweight black hole, as shown in this artist's view.

Supermassive black hole escapes its galaxy, leaves new stars in its path - study

A supermassive black hole accidentally spotted by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope is now flying through space, leaving a breadcrumb path of stars behind it.

Scientists discover one of the largest black holes ever found - study

The supermassive black hole at the center of Abell 1201 BCG was found using gravitational lensing. It's so big that it might be part of a new category: Ultramassive black holes.

NASA telescope catches black hole twisting captured star into donut shape

The telescope was not able to capture the whole process up close because the star that was swallowed was 300 million light years away.
