Scientists Predict Ultramassive Black Holes Can’t Grow Beyond 100 Billion Suns
Scientists led by Dr Priyamvada Natarajan from Yale University have discovered that ultramassive black holes likely cannot exceed 100 billion solar masses. These giants regulate their own growth by emitting gas jets that heat and expel surrounding material, cutting off their gas supply. Additionally, the team is exploring intermediate-mass black ho...

Scientists Uncover Universe's Brightest Object: A Black Hole Devouring A Sun Daily
Researchers from The Australian National University (ANU) have identified the fastest-growing black hole ever documented, consuming the equivalent of one sun daily.

Scientists Discover Oldest Black Hole Ever That's 'Eating' Its Host Galaxy
Scientists said it is surprising to know that such supermassive black hole, which is a few million times the mass of our Sun, existed in the early universe.

Supermassive Black Hole Spotted Eating Sun-Like Star in Nearby Galaxy
Black holes, celestial objects known for their gluttony, usually eat stars unlucky enough to stray too close to them in one big gulp, annihilating them with their enormous gravitational pull. But some, it turns out, tend to snack rather than gorge. Researchers said they have observed a supermassive black hole at the center of a relatively nearby ga...

Sun-Like Star "Repeatedly Shredded, Consumed By Black Hole" Spotted By Astronomers
The star, known as Swift J0230, follows an elliptical orbit around a low-mass black hole situated at the centre of its galaxy.

Largest Cosmic Explosion That Occurred 8 Billion Light Years Away Detected
Astronomers have discovered the largest cosmic explosion that has ever been witnessed. The event took place eight billion light years away from Earth and lasted for three years.

NASA's Hubble Telescope Spots Runaway Supermassive Black Hole Leaving Behind Trail of Newborn Stars
A supermassive black hole, weighing as much as 20 million Suns, has left behind a 2,00,000-light-year-long condensed trail of newborn stars, twice the diameter of the Milky Way galaxy, in its wake, according to the National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA), US. Captured accidentally by NASA's Hubble Space Telescope, the black hole was se...

"Monster On The Loose": NASA's Hubble Spots Black Hole Weighing As Much As 20 Million Suns
American space agency NASA has warned that there is an "invisible monster on the loose", in the form of a "runaway" black hole.

Watch: NASA Turns "Light Echoes" From A Black Hole Into Sound
According to NASA, the black hole in the video is about 7,800 light years away from Earth and has a mass between five and ten times that of the Sun.

Black Hole Closest To Earth Found. It Is 10 Times Bigger Than The Sun
The nearest known black hole to Earth has been found by astronomers utilising the International Gemini Observatory, run by the NOIRLab of the NSF.

Astronomers Spot Hot Gas Bubble Spinning Clockwise Around Milky Way Black Hole
Astronomers said Thursday they have spotted a hot bubble of gas spinning clockwise around the black hole at the centre of our galaxy at "mind blowing" speeds. The detection of the bubble, which only survived for a few hours, is hoped to provide insight into how these invisible, insatiable, galactic monsters work.

Neutron Star Becomes Heaviest Celestial Object With 2.35 Times Mass of Sun
Researchers have recently observed a collapsed dense neutron star shredding and devouring its stellar companion to become one of the heaviest neutron stars ever spotted. The star has a mass 2.35 times that of the Sun and spins at a speed of 707 rounds per second. The finding may now give astronomers an insight into the weird quantum state of matter...

Dormant Black Hole Deemed ‘Needle in a Haystack’ Identified Outside the Milky Way
Astronomers have identified a black hole that not only is classified as dormant but appears to have been born without the explosion of a dying star, in a galaxy adjacent to the Milky Way. Black holes are extraordinarily dense objects with gravity so intense not even light can escape. Deemed a cosmic "needle in a haystack", the newly discovered ‘d...
