Scientists theorize that cosmic strings interacting with dense matter in the early universe provided the seeds for galaxies and black holes.
Galactic winds from black holes found to influence the evolution of galaxies
Astronomers have discovered that black holes trigger the formation of galactic winds that greatly influence star formation.
New JWST data challenges our understanding of supermassive black holes
The new findings contradict most observations of supermassive black holes, making this an unprecedented discovery.
Astronomers might have a shot at imaging primordial black holes
Gravitational waves could be the key to imaging elusive primordial black holes born in the first moments of our Universe.
Subaru Telescope shatters limit, observes supermassive black holes in the early Universe
Scientists have only observed supermassive black holes one billion years after the Big Bang, but astrophysicists have now breached this barrier.
Pulsars and giant black holes open new doors in cosmic archaeology
A 15-year study using observed radio signals from the 67 pulsars has concluded that the entire cosmos is filled with undulating gravitational waves.
Could dark matter be measured around black holes?
Dark matter could be aggregating around black holes, providing a possible means of indirectly measuring its properties.
Could black holes be dark energy?
Astronomers looking at how black holes grow over time may have found the answer to one of the biggest problems in cosmology.
