Black holes are some of the most violent and destructive objects in the universe. And as terrifying as it sounds, thousands of these mysterious voids could be whizzing through your home at this ...

A mind-bending hypothesis is gaining traction among scientists: The universe may be teeming with microscopic black holes the size of an atom, but with the mass of a city-sized asteroid. Created ...

Earth is perfectly safe from a menacing asteroid known as 2024 YR4 that is big enough to level a city, but the moon? Not so much.

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.

With the rate of primordial black hole passages calculated and considering the asteroid-range mass of these dark matter candidates, the team then reasoned that these tiny black holes would race ...

Odds are a funny thing. 1-in-100, for example, sounds like a long shot—until you find out it’s the chance that an asteroid will impact Earth. In a surprising—but not definitive—turn of ...

Black holes are almost unimaginably dense.If Earth was (hypothetically) crushed into a black hole, it would be under an inch across. Today, many black holes form following the collapse of massive ...

In 2021, NASA released an analysis of Apophis’ trajectory, concluding that the asteroid doesn’t pose a threat to Earth in the immediate future. While there will be close passes in 2029 and ...

To find black holes we usually have to look thousands of light-years away. ... That’s roughly the mass of 324 Bamberga, the 16th-largest asteroid in the main belt.

These black holes could be as wide as a single atom, but weigh as much as a huge asteroid. "Ordinarily, black holes form from the collapse of dying stars," Kaiser told Newsweek.
