5 days ago · Astronomers have used the Hubble Space Telescope to find the closest massive black hole to Earth. This black hole is a huge one, known as an “intermediate-mass black hole.”. It’s important because it helps scientists understand how smaller black holes turn into supermassive ones. This black hole is about 8,200 times the mass of our sun.

3 days ago · A black hole is a region of spacetime where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light and other electromagnetic waves, is capable of possessing enough energy to escape it. Einstein's theory of general relativity predicts that a sufficiently compact mass can deform spacetime to form a black hole.
