Scientists can find new things even in the most well-studied black holes.
Talk about a giant in the universe.
This is the closest pair detected in the local universe using multiwavelength (visible and X-ray light) observations.
Stars near the Milky Way's core may employ an exotic reaction involving dark matter to extended their lifetimes virtually indefinitely.
Massive black holes are usually dormant and invisible. However, SDSS1335+0728 decided to wake up.
Some stars in the chaotic heart of the Milky Way consume one another and it makes them look young again.
Oh, you thought the Sun was big? That's cute.
Black holes may be less cosmic villains and more like co-creators in the early universe.
The discovery might up-end how scientists believe black holes form.
Astronomers are still curious why some of the oldest blackholes are still "lightweights."

Black holes may do more than just destroy -- they may also create new things.
It’s long been a mystery how black holes form, now astronomers are on the verge of cracking it.
Big or small, all black holes may be the same.
You wait ages to spot a merger between a neutron star and a black hole and then the two come along at once.
