The Indian Ocean Geoid Low ranks as the largest negative "gravity hole" anomaly on Earth, which is why the “thumbprint” jumps ...

About 5 billion light-years away from where you're sitting, in one of the most massive galaxies on record, there exists an astonishing black hole. It was only just measured by scientists who managed ...

The GWTC 4.0 catalog records 128 new gravitational wave signals, revealing mergers of black holes and neutron stars detected by LIGO.

Black holes like the one shown in this illustration can grow astonishingly massive by feeding on immense amounts of matter. But just how big can they get? In the early 1960s astronomers discovered a ...

Researchers believe the 'ultramassive' black hole is big enough to be the largest of its kind ever detected. Black holes are regions of space where the pull of gravity is so intense that even light ...

"This tells us that the magnetized plasma swirling near the event horizon is far from static; it's dynamic and complex, ...

A black hole with a mass equivalent to 36 billion suns—10,000 times heavier than the one at the center of the Milky Way—has been discovered around 5 billion light-years from Earth. It may be the ...

If the thought of a supermassive black hole terrifies you, a new study may provide some relief. Scientists say that these galactic giants might not actually be as big as we thought. Researchers from ...
