Could these black hole 'morsels' finally prove Stephen Hawking's famous theory?

Stephen Hawking suggested black holes "leak " and evaporate away — scientists could use "morsels" launched from catastrophic black hole collisions to prove it.

Elusive medium-size black holes may form in dense 'birthing nests'

A new simulation has shown elusive intermediate-mass black holes may form in dense globular clusters of millions of tightly packed stars, thanks to a chaotic collision chain.

Scientists may have finally solved the problem of the universe’s 'missing' black holes

Primordial black holes are one of the strongest candidates for the universe's missing dark matter. But a new theory suggests that not enough of the miniature black holes formed for this to be the case.

If the Big Bang created miniature black holes, where are they?

Primordial black holes born from density fluctuations dating back to the Big Bang have been frustratingly elusive, but a new quantum clue has been discovered.

'Vanishing' stars may be turning into black holes without going supernova, new study hints

Stars that vanish from the sky may be collapsing directly into black holes without going supernova first, a new study of a bizarre binary star system suggests.

I’m an astrophysicist mapping the universe with data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory − clear, sharp photos help me study energetic black holes

When a star is born or dies, or when any other very energetic phenomenon occurs in the universe, it emits X-rays, which are high-energy light particles that aren’t visible to the naked eye. These X-rays are the same kind that doctors use to take pictures of broken bones inside the…

NASA spots 16 'Death Star' black holes blasting powerful beams at multiple targets

Researchers using NASA's Chandra X-ray telescope have found that a group of "Death Star black holes are swiveling around and pointing at new targets, like the fictional space station in Star Wars."

Are stars vanishing into their own black holes? A bizarre binary system says 'yes'

An unusual binary system could be evidence that some massive stars can die quietly, without a supernova explosion.

Black hole spin speed revealed in new study of churning space-time

Scientists have calculated the speed of a spinning supermassive black hole by studying the 'spaghettified' remains of a star it destroyed.

'Death Star' black holes caught blasting powerful beams at multiple targets: Watch out Alderaan! (video)

Supermassive black holes that are blasting out beams of high-energy particles killing star formation in their galaxies are shifting targets like real-life Death Stars.

Scientists find weird link between a solar mystery and feeding black holes

The solar dynamo that drives sunspots and solar flares could be located near the surface of the sun scientists find, solving a 400-year-old solar mystery and providing a weird link to black holes.

Mind-Bending! Astronomers Capture Just How Fast A Supermassive Black Hole Spins

A new study offers a fascinating new method to measure the spin speed of a black hole. This ability could help astronomers flesh out how our universe came to look as it does today.

Churning spacetime and destroyed stars help reveal how fast supermassive black holes spin

Black holes are such a drag! Especially for the guts of stars they've destroyed and the fabric of spacetime they pull along with them.

Right again, Einstein! Scientists find where matter 'waterfalls' into black holes

Einstein was right! Scientists found the first-ever evidence of "plunging regions" of spacetime where matter inexorably falls into black holes, as predicted by general relativity.

Black hole singularities defy physics. New research could finally do away with them.

Black hole singularities defy the laws of physics. New research presents a bold solution to this puzzle: Black holes may actually be a theoretical type of star called a 'gravastar,' filled with universe-expanding dark energy.

Scientists discover bizarre region around black holes that proves Einstein right yet again

Einstein's general theory of relativity predicted that so-called 'plunging regions' around black holes would accelerate matter into them at the speed of light. Now, X-ray observations of a remote black hole have proved him right.
