Are tiny black holes zipping through our solar system? Scientists hope to find out
Scientists say microscopic black holes could explain the elusive "dark matter" that makes up a quarter of all matter in the universe. But can it be proven?
How to spot tiny black holes that might pass through the solar system
Flybys of primordial black holes may occur once a decade. Tweaks to the orbits of planets and GPS satellites could give away their presence.
One Black Hole May Pass Through Our Solar System Every Decade, Study Finds
"Primordial black holes do not live in the solar system. Rather, they're streaming through the universe, doing their own thing," said researcher Sarah Geller.
Biggest black hole jets ever seen are as long as 140 Milky Ways
The largest-ever black hole jets ever seen hint that these cosmic monsters may play an even more significant role in shaping galaxies than previously thought.
Hubble Space Telescope finds surprising number of black holes in early universe
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope helped astronomers find more supermassive black holes in the early universe than previous estimates.
Could we find primordial black holes in the solar system?
Astronomers have observed three types of black holes in the universe. Stellar-mass black holes formed from the collapse of a massive star, intermediate mass black holes found in some star clusters, and supermassive black holes that lurk in the centers of galaxies.
What If Jupiter Collided With a Black Hole?
It's time for one of the biggest battles our Solar System has ever seen. In this corner, a gas giant and heavyweight, Jupiter. And in this corner, an infinitely small but truly terrifying black hole.
