Tiny Black Holes Could Zip Through Our Solar System, Causing Mars to Wobble
Tiny, ancient black holes could whizz through our Solar System as often as once a decade, according to a new study. We could spot them by watching for a wobble in the orbit of Mars – and that could help uncover dark matter.
Astronomers Say Our Solar System is Regularly Visited by Tiny Black Holes
Black holes are still one of the Universe’s greatest mysteries, distant bodies capable of gobbling up anything and everything that crosses their event horizons. However, experts now say they’re not all distant and they’re not all massive and tiny ones could float through our Solar System and cause observable effects.
Tiny Primordial Black Holes Could Explain Dark Matter
A new paper explores the idea of asteroid-sized objects that may be causing gravitational ripples in our cosmic neighborhood.
Are tiny black holes zipping through our solar system? Scientists hope to find out
Scientists say microscopic black holes could explain the elusive "dark matter" that makes up a quarter of all matter in the universe. But can it be proven?
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.
Dark Matter Could Be Hiding Out as Atom-Sized Black Holes
The universe’s hidden mass may be made of black holes, which could wobble the planets of the solar system when they pass by
Dark Matter Could Be Hiding in Gravitational Wave Data
The team added new limits to how dark matter could interact with the LIGO detector, boosting hopes for future runs.
