'Recoiling' black hole in a nearby star cluster keeps slipping detection, baffling scientists
Recoiling black holes, like the one in question, are hypothetical objects that are yet to be definitively spotted.

Black holes do not move around sucking in objects like a vacuum cleaners, say scientist
He said if the Sun became a black hole, it wouldn't suck other planets; the Earth would still revolve around it, except there wouldn't light and the planet would be very cold.

Penrose's Nobel for Physics comes two decades too late, a delayed recognition of important theoretical work
It took the Nobel Committee five decades to recognize the work of Indian-origin astrophysicist Subramanyan Chandrasekhar.

Nobel-winning black hole physics by Penrose, Hawking stands on work of Indian physicist Amal Raychaudhuri
The Raychaudhuri Equation continues to be a key tool in investigating the behaviour of black hole horizons in modern physics.

Nobel Prize 2020 in Physics awarded to Penrose, Genzel and Ghez for findings in cosmology, black holes
Half the award was shared between two researchers that helped discover that every galaxy is home to a supermassive black hole.

Black holes that 'shouldn’t exist' discovered in the loudest black hole collision on record
A black hole 85 times the sun's mass, and a second, 66 solar masses, collided. The result was a black hole 142 times as massive as the sun.

Hubble peers deep into the universe, finds 'missing link' evidence of mid-sized black hole
Black holes are extreme environments and are a testing ground for the laws of physics and our understanding of how the Universe works.

Einstein and Hawking: Master of our Universe makes greatest scientific breakthroughs accessible, exciting
Einstein and Hawking: Master of our Universe, a two-part BBC docu-series, documents their contributions to science.

Space and Astronomy in 2019: Unforgettable findings and events in space exploration, the universe
We saw the first black hole photo, many moon landings, the most distant asteroid ever imaged beyond Pluto among other spectacular wonders.

Two merging galaxy groups put on a spectacular display for Chandra telescope
The groups are located about 380 million light-years from Earth and will form a cluster after the merger.

Pac-Man-like behaviour could explain how massive, spinning black holes merge
Researchers are hoping to find signs of large, spinning black holes that can help in the hunt for gravitational waves.

Stars can explode because of mysterious supersonic waves, a new study finds
During the star's explosion, it releases the same amount of energy it would release over its entire lifetime.

Three black holes on a collision course imaged by multiple telescopes in a first
The observation is 'the best evidence yet' of a trio of supermassive black holes in apparently merging galaxies.

Scientists confirm that black holes are hairless and ring like a bell, gravitationally speaking, when they're born
Scientists have found gravitational wave signals peaking in a sharp curve before fading away, like a bird's 'chirp'.

Strange green flash of light in 'Fireworks' galaxy picked up by NASA satellite
The flash could be a rare, more extreme case of matter falling into a black hole or neutron star.

Black holes aren't always born from imploding stars, a radical new study proposes
So far, massive, star-sized black holes were thought to form only from collapsed stars.

An invisible magnetic field could be keeping the black hole in our Milky Way 'quiet'
While gravity in a black hole is better understood, the role of its magnetic field on the solar system remains a mystery.

Meet Katie Bouman, the scientist whose algorithm helped image the first black hole
Katie Bouman led the creation of a new algorithm to produce the first-ever image of a black hole.

Everything you want to know about the first ever image of a black hole
The black hole in the centre of our Milky Way is about 1000 times less massive than the one in M87.

Could rotating black holes be gentle portals for hyperspace travel in the future?
Black holes are considered potential shortcuts through spacetime to cross cosmic distances.
