As a massive black hole located 55 million light-years from Earth, the black hole at the center of M87 has a mass equivalent ...

Astronomer de Graaff from the Max Planck Institute for Astronomy and her team reveal what could be behind the small red dots in the images from the James Webb Space Telescope: black hole stars, which ...

Recently, the field of astronomy revealed a jaw-dropping discovery — black hole accretion disks are intricately linked to the luminosity differences in supernova explosions. This finding is like ...

"This black hole could then grow and consume the entire planet, turning it into a black hole with the same mass as the ...

A strange signal in the background hum created by a merger between two black holes could be the first ever detection of a system of three stellar-mass black holes locked in a gravitational waltz.

They’re the boogeymen of science fiction, a paradox of science and quite possibly a key to understanding the universe. Scientists have been scrambling to understand the mysterious forces of black ...

A proposed interstellar mission envisions sending a gram-scale nanocraft, propelled by a laser-driven lightsail to a nearby black hole, achieving approximately one-third the speed of light. Upon ...

The universe is big, weird, and filled with unexpected things. It’s the reason we send space probes to far reaches of our solar system and into deep space, it’s the reason we build telescopes, and ...

This is the first confirmed case of a star that survived an encounter with a supermassive black hole and came back for more. This discovery upends conventional wisdom about such tidal disruption ...

Not all supernovae go quietly into the cosmic night some fight to the very end. That is how Alexander Gagliano, the lead author of a new paper in The Astrophysical Journal, characterized SN 2023zkd, a ...

WR 124, a rare type of Wolf-Rayet star. X-ray: NASA/CXC/SAO; Infrared: (Herschel) ESA/NASA/Caltech, (Spitzer) NASA/JPL/Caltech, (WISE) NASA/JPL/Caltech; Infrared ...
