Could we find primordial black holes in the solar system?
Astronomers have observed three types of black holes in the universe. Stellar-mass black holes formed from the collapse of a massive star, intermediate mass black holes found in some star clusters, and supermassive black holes that lurk in the centers of galaxies.
Primordial black holes may pass through our solar system every decade. Here's how they could affect earth
Primordial black holes, formed after the Big Bang, may pass through our solar system once every decade. These tiny black holes could cause detectable changes in planetary orbits and satellite networks.
Are tiny black holes zipping through our solar system? Scientists aim to find out.
The universe might be teeming with microscopic black holes the size of an atom but with the mass of a city-sized asteroid, scientists say.
One Black Hole May Pass Through Our Solar System Every Decade, Study Finds
"Primordial black holes do not live in the solar system. Rather, they're streaming through the universe, doing their own thing," said researcher Sarah Geller.
A 'primordial' black hole may zoom through our solar system every decade
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 that scientists can detect.
A Tiny Black Hole Goes Through Our Solar System Every Decade
A new study suggests that a microscopic black hole might pass through our solar system once every decade or so.
Tiny black holes could be zooming through our solar system, study explains
According to a new study, if a primordial black hole passed within a few hundred million miles of Mars, it could shift the planet's orbit by about a meter -- causing a "wobble."
Biggest black hole jets ever seen are as long as 140 Milky Ways
The largest-ever black hole jets ever seen hint that these cosmic monsters may play an even more significant role in shaping galaxies than previously thought.
