Runaway black hole creating trail of new stars
A huge black hole is tearing through space, leaving behind a 200,000-light-year-long trail of newborn stars, space scientists said.
There's black hole at the centre of our galaxy, here's its first image
An international team of astronomers recently unveiled the first image of a cosmic body known as Sagittarius A*, a supermassive black hole at the centre of our own Milky Way galaxy.
First picture of black hole soon
The world, it seems, is soon to see the first picture of a black hole.
18 billion solar mass black hole rotates at 1/3 speed of light
Far far away in the constellation Cancer there is a 14th magnitude speck of light one can claim in a 10-inch or larger telescope. Essentially this tiny speck represents the final farewell of chewed up stars as their remains whirl down the throat of an 18 billion solar mass black hole, one of the largest known in the universe.
Black hole caught 'burping' gas
Astronomers have spotted two huge waves of gas being "burped" by the black hole at the heart of a nearby galaxy.
Stephen Hawking: There is a way out of a black hole
Stuff that falls into a black hole is gone forever, right? Not so, says Stephen Hawking.
Sun X-ray reveals colorful processes
A space telescope designed to look into the furthest-most reaches of space at some of the most energetic phenomena in the known universe has, once again, been turned to face our nearest star, producing a rare and beautiful insight to our X-ray sun.
Using the gravity of the universe to peer into a black hole
Researchers at the European Space Agency harness the natural lensing properties of cosmic gravity to get a closer look at a black hole.
Black hole glimpsed playing cosmic billiards
Astronomers have witnessed two big blobs of plasma, shot into space by a black hole, cannoning into each other in a dramatic cosmic billiard-shot.

Astronomers spot quasar fueled by the mass of 12 billion suns
Scientists say they have found the brightest quasar yet in the early universe, a region around a supermassive black hole that blazes with the brightness of 420 trillion suns
