At the heart of that galaxy was a black hole spewing energy equivalent to the output of more than a trillion stars. “The Milky Way would be a little dot in these two giant eruptions,” said Martijn Oei ...

The citizen science app, available in eight languages, uses public input to identify kilonovae, neutron star mergers that ...

Astronomers from the National Central University in Taiwan have investigated an unusual superorbital period variation of an X ...

Astronomers have discovered a "missing link:" a tiny black hole lurking with a red giant star in a strange and ...

Research suggests black holes may not exist as traditionally thought, with frozen stars potentially solving key paradoxes.

Hubble reveals a surprising number of early black holes, offering new insights into their formation. Led by Stockholm ...

Astronomers led by Song Wang from the Chinese Academy of Sciences, have discovered an unusual celestial phenomenon, ...

Black holes are on a continuum of ultradense objects that form from the remnant cores of dead stars after they run out of ...

New research suggests that black holes may actually be "frozen stars," bizarre quantum objects that lack a singularity and an ...

GRBs might stem from neutron stars colliding, binary stars merging, black holes swallowing stars, or stars going supernova. Patterns in the arrival times of the gamma rays can help us decide which ...

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

ALBERT Einstein theorized in 1916 that two merging black holes create ripples in the spacetime fabric, similar to how a pebble creates ripples in a pond. These ripples, called gravitational waves, ...
