Intriguingly, ultralight dark matter might be able to turn into photons (light) — and it's through this process that the ...

While it's much smaller than the largest supermassive black holes detected, it's still a whopper considering how early in the history of the universe it appeared. An enormous black hole in the ...

While he offers several explanations for what could cause the universe to rotate, he focuses mainly on the hypothesis that it is inside a gigantic black hole. Because black holes naturally rotate ...

This finding is the closest look ever at hot molecular gas near a black hole from such an early time in the universe, revealing in remarkable detail the conditions of a rapidly growing black hole.

This explanation "agrees with theories such as black hole cosmology, which postulates that the entire universe is the interior of a black hole." However, if the universe was born rotating ...

This means that the study represents our closest ever look at the heating mechanisms that affect gas around a rapidly growing black hole from such an early period in the universe's history—and ...

One of the most powerful objects in the universe is a radio quasar – a spinning black hole spraying out highly energetic particles. Come too close to one, and you’d get sucked in by its gravitational ...
