1966 — Yakov Zel’dovich and Igor Novikov propose searching for black hole candidates among binary systems in which one star is optically bright and X-ray dark and the other optically dark but X-ray bright (the black hole candidate) [1] 1967 — Jocelyn Bell discovers and analyzes the first radio pulsar, direct evidence for a neutron star [2]
IGR J17091-3624 (candidate smallest known stellar black hole) [14] [15] LB-1 (name of both a galactic B-type star and a very closely associated over-massive stellar-mass black hole) [16] [17] M33 X-7 (stellar black hole with the most massive stellar companion, located in the Triangulum Galaxy) [18]

A black hole with the mass of a car would have a diameter of about 10 −24 m and take a nanosecond to evaporate, during which time it would briefly have a luminosity of more than 200 times that of the Sun. Lower-mass black holes are expected to evaporate even faster; for example, a black hole of mass 1 TeV/c 2 would take less than 10 −88 ...
Scientists have discovered the oldest black hole yet, a cosmic beast formed a mere 470 million years after the Big Bang. The findings, published Monday, confirm what until now were theories that ...
1964 - First black hole, Cygnus X-1, discovered; 1964 – CP violation discovered by James Cronin and Val Fitch. 1965 – Arno Penzias and Robert Wilson: Cosmic Microwave Background (CMB) discovered; 1967 – Unification of weak interaction and electromagnetism (electroweak theory) 1967 – Solar neutrino problem found
Astronomers say they have discovered the longest pair of black hole jets ever seen in the sky coming from a galaxy far, far away. The record-breaking eruptions span 23 million light years from end ...
The supermassive black hole at the core of Messier 87, here shown by an image by the Event Horizon Telescope, is among the black holes in this list. This is an ordered list of the most massive black holes so far discovered (and probable candidates), measured in units of solar masses (M ☉), approximately 2 × 10 30 kilograms.
