When a black hole eats a star, it produces a "tidal disruption event" that can outshine the light of every star in the host galaxy for months or even years

Researchers have detected, for the first time, light from the back side of a black hole. The finding fulfills a prediction from Einstein's work.

Math explains how light curving around black holes can reveal multiple images of the same galaxies to observers, according to a new study.

A new picture that showcases the magnetic fields of a black hole will help us understand more about the massive energy jets they can fire off into space.

Researchers have discovered the presence of high-energy neutrinos in the wake of a star being destroyed by a black hole.

The newly found quasar, the most distant ever discovered, hosts a supermassive black hole equivalent to the combined mass of 1.6 billion suns.

Researchers have been on the hunt for a missing supermassive black hole that should be in the central galaxy of cluster Abell 2261, but isn't.

New research may provide clues to the mystery of why some supermassive black holes launch jets of material out into space while others don't.

Researchers say Einstein's ideas hold up in a new kind of test. "This is a brand new way to test general relativity using supermassive black holes."

"Astronomers were making bets if such black holes existed or not, and people believed they could not exist, but we found it."
