Despite weighing about a million times the mass of our sun, the black hole wasn't found at the center of its host galaxy, ...

Black holes are the hungry monsters of the cosmos: enormously dense objects that can suck in any material which strays too close and then devour it. Now, astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope ...

Astronomers have observed a tidal disruption event, AT2024tvd, revealing a rogue supermassive black hole devouring a star far ...

This event is the first time we have ever observed an 'offset TDE', which may help us discover more 'wandering' black holes.

Over the past decade or so, astronomers have speculated about the characteristics of rogue planets in the Milky Way galaxy. These "free-floating" worlds don't orbit stars, but instead roam the ...
