Many of those questions surround black holes. These things are a relatively recent discovery, and every day, we learn more ...

When exploring outer space, the sharpness of our vision has always been limited by Earth’s atmosphere and the physical size of our telescopes. But astronomers shattered these limitations in 2024 by ...

The passing gravitational waves “stretch or contract the universe by around 20 meters [about 65 feet] or so,” says Matthew ...

By observing tiny ripples in spacetime called "gravitational waves" that propagate away from colliding black holes, ...

The black holes rip the stars apart and consume their stellar debris — becoming more massive, Northwestern explained. This increases their gravitational pull and draws them together as they orbit..

Three and a half kilometers beneath the Mediterranean Sea, around 80km off the coast of Sicily, lies half of a very unusual telescope called KM3NeT.

Researchers have discovered the largest black hole plasma jets ever in a galaxy almost 7 billion light years away from Earth.

Astronomers detect signs of a massive, invisible black hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud, which may collide with the Milky ...

In the sky, Gaia BH3 is located about 2,000 light years away in the constellation Aquila and appears to be a passive black ...

Supermassive black holes, regions of space where the pull of gravity is so intense that even light doesn't have enough energy to escape, are often considered terrors of the known universe.

Black holes can actively regulate the material they consume, using powerful jets of gas blasted into space, according to a new study. It suggests many such cosmic beasts effectively "cook" their ...

For the first time, researchers have found evidence that even microquasars with low-mass stars can efficiently accelerate ...
