All the black holes discovered currently fall into two categories: there's the stellar-mass black holes, weighing between about five and a few dozen times the mass of our Sun, and way up the other end ...

All known black holes fall into two categories: small, stellar-mass black holes weighing a few suns, and supermassive black holes weighing millions or billions of suns. Astronomers expect that ...

In astronomy, a binary system is one where two objects are close enough that they orbit each other because they are gravitationally bound to one another. There are many possible combinations of binary ...
