Astronomers find hundreds of 'hidden' black holes — and there may be billions or even trillions more
Black holes that have been obscured by clouds of dust still emit infrared light, enabling astronomers to spot them for the very first time.
Mysterious Pulsing X-Rays From a Nearby Black Hole Baffle Astronomers
MIT astronomers have been captivated by the strange behaviors of a supermassive black located 270 million light-years away, which mysteriously lost and then regained its corona in 2018. Recently, it e
Astronomers Found Strange, Accelerating X-Ray Pulses Coming From a Black Hole. They Might Be a Sign of an Orbiting White Dwarf

Mysterious flashing seen near supermassive black hole. Astronomers have an idea what it is
A black hole infamous for strange features has once again baffled astronomers, this time with rapid X-ray flashes. What could they be?
Astronomers capture the highest resolution images ever taken of a black hole
Active galactic nuclei (AGN) are among the most energetic phenomena observed in the universe. These luminous objects, powered by supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies, release staggering amounts of energy as matter spirals into their intense gravitational pull.
Astronomers capture unprecedented view of supermassive black hole in action
Active galactic nuclei are supermassive black holes at the center of certain galaxies. As matter falls into these black holes, enormous amounts of energy are released, making active galactic nuclei, or AGN,
