When a star passes within a certain distance of a black hole, the stellar material gets stretched and compressed -- or "spaghettified" -- as the black hole swallows it.

This discovery could reshape our understanding of how black holes impact their host galaxy and potentially the intergalactic medium.

This discovery nearly doubles the amount of known ancient quasars — or supermassive black holes that sit at the center of enormous galaxies. 

"This will help us to find more black holes in other globular clusters in the Universe."

Astrophysicists from Johns Hopkins University argue that FRBs provide a direct way of detecting black holes of a specific mass, which are the suspect of dark matter. 

Matter might, in fact, survive its journey into black holes and come out the other side.

The discovery could help astronomers find a solution to the quasi-periodic oscillation phenomena!

An unusual source of intense radiation is likely powered by a "direct-collapse black hole," a type of object predicted by theorists more than a decade ago.
