The EHT captured a surprising polarization reversal around M87*, pointing to rapidly changing magnetic fields near the black ...

Astronomers have found a black hole where few thought they could ever exist, inside a globular star cluster. The finding has broad implications for the dynamics of stars clusters and also for the ...

Black hole singularities defy the laws of physics. New research presents a bold solution to this puzzle: Black holes may actually be a theoretical type of star called a 'gravastar,' filled with ...

The short answer is yes: When two black holes merge, the resulting black hole has both more mass and a larger diameter. How much bigger? Let’s find out! When astronomers talk about the size of a black ...

A black hole that was eaten by a star seems to have gotten revenge by consuming the star from the inside, producing a gamma-ray burst spotted about 9 billion light-years from Earth. The burst, called ...
