An infinity symbol–shaped galaxy hosts an active supermassive black hole. The growing giant may have come from the aftermath of a galactic smashup.

“The gas spans the entire width of the system and was likely shocked and compressed at the collision site,” they and their ...

Scientists record a black hole collision they weren’t sure was possible The largest black hole collision ever recorded has scientists' jaws on the floor — and scratching their heads.

He was not alone. Associate astronomy professor Shane Davis expounded on black holes, while graduate student Jaya Nagarajan-Swenson spoke on merging galaxies, both using a large monitor to display ...

An international team of physicists discovered the largest-ever merger of 2 black holes through a phenomenon known as gravitational waves.

Two black holes merged into one massive one, scientists from an international collaborative group said.

How was the collision of two black holes detected? The two black holes were spinning at about 400,000 times faster than the Earth’s rotation when they collided, billions of years ago.

New research is shedding light on what researchers call "lite" intermediate-mass black holes, which are smaller, but still important.
