Dark Disguise New research is rekindling an old hypothesis about the nature of black holes that could resolve a fundamental problem at the heart of physics. Black holes are cryptic cosmic objects with a center point of incredible,

The jets of material that spew from black holes catalyze stellar eruptions, surprising astronomers and raising questions about the jets' role in the universe.

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?

Star explosions called novas are happening twice as often near a gargantuan black hole jet as they are in the rest of the galaxy, and astronomers aren't sure why.

A study of the galaxy M87 showed that nova explosions appear to be occurring at an unusual high frequency in the neighborhood of one of the jets from the galaxy But there's absolutely no mechanism to explain why this might happen,
