Michelle York+FollowDid We Just Find the Universe’s Missing Black Holes?Turns out, the black holes scientists have been hunting for decades—the mysterious 'in-betweeners' called intermediate-mass black holes—might finally have been spotted! Researchers reanalyzed data from LIGO and Virgo and found signs of black hole collisions way bigger than usual, right in the sweet spot for these elusive objects. Even cooler: future space missions like LISA (and maybe even a lunar observatory!) could help confirm it. Black hole evolution just got a major plot twist! #BlackHoles #SpaceNews #Astronomy #Science52Share
Michael Flores+FollowBlack Holes Just Went Full Snack ModeThree supermassive black holes just got caught in the act—devouring giant stars and unleashing energy that outshines 100 supernovae! Astronomers spotted these wild cosmic feasts in distant galaxies, and the explosions are so intense, they’re calling them “extreme nuclear transients.” One even got the nickname “Barbie.” Normally, these black holes are chill, but when a star gets too close, it’s game over (think: cosmic spaghettification). This is the brightest, most energetic stuff we’ve seen since the Big Bang! #SpaceNews #BlackHoles #Astronomy #Science482Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowBlack Holes Just Got WilderTurns out, black holes can throw the wildest tantrums in the universe! Scientists just spotted extreme nuclear transients (ENTs)—basically, energy blasts so intense they outshine our Sun’s entire lifetime by 100x in just one year. These cosmic explosions happen when supermassive black holes rip apart stars. Only two have been found so far, but with new telescopes coming online, we might see a lot more. Imagine what else is lurking out there! #SpaceNews #BlackHoles #Astronomy #Science15119Share
martinezlaura+FollowSpace Just Had Its Wildest Explosion YetAstronomers just spotted the craziest cosmic explosion since the Big Bang—think supernova, but on steroids. These new 'Extreme Nuclear Transients' (ENTs) are 25x more powerful than any supernova we've ever seen and shine brighter than whole galaxies for years. Basically, black holes are out here throwing the universe’s most dramatic light shows, and we’re only now catching on. Imagine the energy of 100 Suns going off at once. Mind. Blown. #SpaceNews #Astronomy #BlackHoles #Science15022Share
Zachary Gutierrez+FollowBlack Holes Just Broke the Explosion RecordAstronomers just spotted cosmic explosions so wild, they outshine anything since the Big Bang! These 'extreme nuclear transients' (ENTs) are what happens when giant stars get shredded by supermassive black holes—and they’re 25x more powerful than the biggest supernova ever. Even crazier? These flares stay bright for years, not hours. Scientists say ENTs could reveal secrets about how black holes grew when the universe was young. Mind. Blown. #SpaceNews #BlackHoles #Astronomy #Science120Share
megangibson+FollowJWST Just Found 'Hidden' Black Holes?!Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope just uncovered a whole new type of supermassive black hole hiding in the early universe! These aren’t the flashy quasars or the mysterious Little Red Dots—they’re something in between, cloaked in dust and invisible until now. Turns out, the universe was way busier with black holes than we thought. Could this be the missing link to understanding how these cosmic giants grew up? Mind. Blown. #JamesWebb #BlackHoles #SpaceDiscovery #Science100Share
Michael Flores+FollowAre Black Holes Just Roaming Around Us?Turns out, our galaxy might be playing host to a dozen super-rare, medium-sized black holes that are just wandering around! Scientists thought these intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) were nearly impossible to find, but new research suggests they could be hiding in plain sight, drifting through the Milky Way instead of chilling at the center. We don’t know exactly where they are or how big they get, but if true, it could totally change what we know about black holes. Space just got a little wilder! #BlackHoles #SpaceMystery #MilkyWay #ScienceNews #Astrophysics #Science50Share
