The start of the supermassive black hole devouring matter around it and erupting with short-lived flaring events called quasiperiodic eruptions (QPEs) is marked by this active phase, reported ...

While it's much smaller than the largest supermassive black holes detected, it's still a whopper considering how early in the history of the universe it appeared. An enormous black hole in the ...

Scientists have been left baffled after spotting a lone black hole drifting through the Milky Way, without any orbiting stars. Although this black hole is seven times more massive than our sun ...
