These days, black holes are formed in the deaths of massive stars and their masses start at around 3 times the Sun’s mass.

What occurs when two black holes, each greater than a hundred Suns, smash into each other in the shadows past our galaxy? In a brief tenth of a second, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave ...

"Its special properties make the galaxy an ideal candidate for further research into merging black holes and the associated gravitational waves." ...

A tiny black hole may pass through our solar system once every ten or so years, researchers have suggested, and this could be detected by watching Mars wobble. This estimate is based on an idea ...

If microscopic black holes born a fraction of a second after the Big Bang exist, then at least one may fly through the solar system per decade, generating tiny gravitational distortions.

In a study published Tuesday in the journal Physical Review D, physicists at MIT say the presence of a tiny black hole speeding through the solar system could be identified by the gentle ...

It's not a cosmic vacuum cleaner." If a black hole did wander into our solar system, the largest effects would be gravitational. And those effects would depend on the mass of the black hole.

If our sun were replaced with a black hole of the same mass, our solar system would orbit similarly to how it does now, but it would be a lot colder. We don’t know what matter looks like inside ...

The type of black hole that’s sitting in the center of a galaxy is different. This is a supermassive black hole, or SMBH, and — as its name implies — it’s much heftier.

Instead, they say that if primordial black holes exist and make up most of dark matter, "then one must travel through the inner solar system every one to 10 years." ...
