The earliest black holes in the universe may not have disappeared from Hawking radiation after all, new research hints.

Recent observations suggest that 'runaway' black holes are tumbling through the cosmos. Building on decades of theory, the discovery adds a remarkable new chapter to the story of the universe.

New research reveals how quiet galactic engines can help shape entire galaxies.

The early universe sounds terrifying.

In my January 23, 2026, “The Universe” column, I wrote about some of the biggest bangs the universe has to offer: exploding stars, hiccupping magnetars, stellar disruptions and colliding black holes.

Scientists say an ultra-powerful neutrino once thought impossible may be explained by an exotic black hole model involving a so-called “dark charge.” ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) was designed to look back in time and study galaxies that existed shortly after the Big ...

New research suggests that the heart of the Milky Way may be dominated by a dense clump of dark matter rather than the ...

Some things in cosmology may simply be unknowable. Why is there something rather than nothing? What lies outside the universe? What is inside a black hole? That last one has been niggling at ...

Astronomers tracked a star in Andromeda as it dimmed and vanished without the usual fiery explosion, offering rare clues to how black holes form. "If our hypothesized dark charge is true, then we ...

You can skip the the 45 min mark since that's where he talks about it but I saw this come across me feed and from the sound of it he's saying that the distortion at the edges of a black hole imply the ...

Astronomers may have finally cracked one of the universe’s biggest mysteries: how black holes grew so enormous so fast after the Big Bang. New simulations show that early, chaotic galaxies created ...
