Astronomers searching for massive black holes shredding stars found one in an unusual place -- 2,600 light years from the core of a galaxy. The roque black hole may be from an earlier merger with ...

For a supermassive black hole to turn into a quasar, something must bring material for it to feed on near to it. This is ...

Inside Silke Weinfurtner's laboratory at the University of Nottingham in the UK, a giant water tank is helping her team better understand the complexity of the universe by standing in as an analogue ...

Scientists have accurately predicted space-time disturbances caused by two black holes, utilizing abstract mathematical ...

Explore the theoretical limits of escaping a black hole's gravitational pull and the nature of event horizons.

Scientists have made the most accurate predictions yet of the gravitational waves produced when two black holes fly past each ...

Supermassive black holes are behemoths that weigh in at several million to billion times the mass of our own sun. Like their ...

An unlucky star came into contact with a roaming black hole and was ripped apart in a peculiar celestial occurrence.

Dense cosmic objects like neutron stars and white dwarfs may decay faster than previously thought, challenging predictions.

Previous studies that didn’t factor Hawking radiation into their equations have put a white dwarf’s lifespan at 10¹¹⁰⁰ years.

Quantum ideas describe particles and fields in tiny packages, but general relativity paints gravity as smooth curves in space ...

Physicists are grappling with the inconsistencies of singularities in black hole models and exploring new theories.
