ESO Observations Reveal Black Holes' Breakfast at the Cosmic Dawn
Gas halos are the perfect food for supermassive black holes at the center of early galaxies, which are now seen as they were over 12.5 billion years ago

Chinese Academy of Sciences Leads Discovery of Unpredicted Stellar Black Hole
The monster black hole is located 15 thousand light-years from Earth and has been named LB-1 by the researchers
New Study Suggests 'Pac-Man-Like' Mergers Could Explain Massive, Spinning Black Holes
RIT associate professor Richard O'Shaughnessy contributes to study in Physical Review Letters
Hubble Uncovers Black Hole That Shouldn't Exist
The unexpected presence of a disk of material so close to a black hole offers a unique opportunity to test Albert Einstein's theories of relativity
Black Hole Image Makes History
Scientists have obtained the first image of a black hole, using Event Horizon Telescope observations of the center of the galaxy M87
Scientists Decode the Origin of Universe’s Heavy Elements in the Light from a Neutron Star Merger
Berkeley Lab scientists play key role in explaining a historic discovery
Gravitational Waves Detected from Second Pair of Colliding Black Holes
The LIGO Scientific Collaboration and the Virgo Collaboration identify a second gravitational wave event
NASA's Fermi Telescope Poised to Pin down Gravitational Wave Sources
Gamma-rays arising from a black hole merger would be a landmark finding because black holes are expected to merge "cleanly," without producing any sort of light
Five-Dimensional Black Hole Could 'Break' General Relativity
Researchers have successfully simulated how a ring-shaped black hole could cause general relativity to break down: assuming the universe contains at least five dimensions, that is.
What’s on the Surface of a Black Hole?
Not a “firewall”—and the nature of the universe depends on it, physicist explains.
