A mysterious streak appears in Hubble images. Could it be the starry wake left behind by an ejected black hole?
A short guide on how estimate the number of supermassive black hole binary mergers by measuring how loud it is at your local cafe
Your backyard-style black hole is easily made from a fairly massive star. But how do you get a really massive black hole, maybe even a supermassive one?
In today’s paper, astronomers look for meandering modern-day analogues of the ancient building blocks of supermassive black holes.
