Discovery of unexpected massive stars in early universe challenges existing cosmological models, revealing insights into the role of black holes in galaxy formation.

The newly discovered black hole LID-568 devours matter 40 times faster than the theoretical limit, challenging previous understandings of black hole growth mechanisms.

Astronomers discovered record-breaking plasma jets from a supermassive black hole, which play a critical role in the evolution of the universe.

Astronomers discovered the largest black hole jets ever seen, stretching 23 million light years, defying previous theoretical limits.

A supermassive black hole is preventing the galaxy GS-10578 from forming new stars, effectively rendering it 'dead.'

Black holes can form through collapsing gas disks without the need for star formation.

The gamma-ray outburst from black hole M87* offers vital insights into the phenomena surrounding supermassive black holes and their energetic flares.

Primordial black holes could explain dark matter and may influence the solar system's planets by causing measurable wobbles.

Gravitational waves can pass through many objects, but black holes present a unique challenge with their event horizon.

Supermassive black holes merge by overcoming the final parsec problem, possibly aided by dark matter affecting angular momentum.

The universe may contain microscopic black holes that could help explain the dark matter mystery through their gravitational effects on planetary orbits.

The concept of Hawking radiation might apply to all massive objects, not just black holes, challenging our understanding of mass and decay.

Stephen Hawking's interment was honored by broadcasting his voice to a black hole, merging his legacy with the mystery of black holes and Hawking radiation.

Hawking radiation challenges black hole theory

Interplay of quantum physics and general relativity

Black holes may possess even more mysteries than previously understood, particularly with the recent discovery involving jets and unidentified objects.

The supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, Sagittarius A*, is spinning so fast that it warps spacetime and takes on the shape of a football.

Researchers used a new method, called the 'outflow method', to estimate the mass and spin rate of Sagittarius A*, using data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the National Science Foundation's Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA).

A newly discovered black hole is consuming matter at 40 times the Eddington limit, demonstrating extraordinary brightness beyond expected limits.

Massive black hole merger observed in ancient universe for the first time.

Scientists used JWST to discover neutron star from Supernova 1987A

Supernova 1987A explosion was so bright it hindered detection of the neutron star in cosmic dust.

Creating a black hole with light alone is impossible.

Black holes warp spacetime drastically. Approaching one, classical mechanics break down, and objects plunge uncontrollably, revealing the mystery of the plunging region.

The European Space Agency has approved the construction of the Laser Interferometer Space Antenna (LISA), the first space experiment to measure gravitational waves.

LISA will be able to observe gravitational waves of lower frequency than those detected on Earth, allowing it to spot phenomena such as black holes orbiting each other.

Gravitational waves detection in 2015 revolutionized physics, offering new insights into the universe and black hole origins.

The discovery of heavier black holes challenges previous assumptions about their formation and existence, highlighting the importance of gravitational wave data and observational evidence from missions like Gaia in expanding our understanding of black holes.
