The energy created when black holes merge contributes to star formation while&nbsp;blowing gas to the outskirts of a galaxy, this creates&nbsp;a limit as to how much the black hole can consume, a new computer simulation shows.

Some black holes may not be black at all, but "naked singularities."

Black holes are dark secrets, shrouded in churning spacetime and scrunched into points smaller than an atom. In recent years, astronomers have successfully penetrated some of their mysteries, but fundamental questions about what they are and how they work are still unanswered.
