A black hole infamous for strange features has once again baffled astronomers, this time with rapid X-ray flashes. What could they be?

After decades of study, scientists sound genuinely optimistic about the possibility of detecting primordial black holes, which might explain dark matter.

Jets blasting from supermassive black holes cause gas to cool and fall toward that cosmic titan in a cosmic feeding process.

Black holes are profoundly dense ... The most plausible outcome is this brazen white dwarf (the spent core of a sun-like star), which is about one-tenth the mass of our sun.

They believe the most likely culprit is a spinning white dwarf — an extremely compact core of a dead star that is orbiting around the black hole and getting precariously closer to its event ...

Rather than relying on a cheek swab or a little blood, however, these cosmic DNA tests utilize tiny ripples in the fabric of ...
