With the recent first light milestone for the Vera Rubin Observatory, it's only a matter of time before one of astronomy's most long-awaited surveys begins. The Legacy Survey of Space and Time ...

New research suggests that tiny primordial black holes could be hollowing out planets and passing through everyday objects, maybe even you and your cat!

"Primordial black holes should form during the first few seconds after the Big Bang. If they exist, they have some advantages over astrophysical black holes," Regan said.

Asteroid-mass primordial black holes might whiz through the inner solar system just once a decade. Luckily, scientists have decades of data on satellites’ trajectories.

Small primordial black holes (PBHs) are one of the hot topics in astronomy and cosmology today. These hypothetical black holes are believed to have formed soon after the Big Bang, resulting from ...

The search for dark matter, one of the greatest mysteries of the universe, has taken a surprising turn. A groundbreaking new study suggests that primordial black holes (PBHs)—theorized to have ...

Don't rule out primordial black holes as dark matter suspects just yet! Particle-sized black holes may resist evaporation, surviving long enough to account for the universe's most mysterious stuff.

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." ...
