black holes

A new study led by Northwestern University is changing the way astrophysicists think about supermassive black holes' eating habits.

A new study led by Northwestern University is redefining how astrophysicists think about the eating habits of supermassive black holes.

Researchers found, Black holes will eventually evaporate due to Hawking radiation, but the event horizon is not as important as previously thought.

When two black holes collide into each other to form a new bigger black hole, they violently roil spacetime around them, sending ripples called gravitational waves outward in all directions.

The most extreme objects in the universe are black holes, which are so densely packed into such little space that nothing, not even light, can evade their gravitational attraction once it is sufficiently close to it.
