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

Nothing is supposed to escape a black hole's event horizon — yet new research suggests it may secretly leak information. That leakage would appear in subtle signatures in gravitational waves, and now ...

The scientists who precisely measure the position of Earth are in a bit of trouble. Their measurements are essential for the satellites we use for navigation, communication and Earth observation every ...

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 ...

A supermassive black hole, several million solar masses, has been discovered at the center of the GN-z11 galaxy, existing approximately 400 million years post-Big Bang. The black hole's accretion disk ...

Astronomers don't have an explanation for a black hole burping out a shredded star, but they suspect it could be more common than once thought When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn ...

The black hole that is the closest to our solar system has been discovered in our galactic backyard. The local black hole is roughly 12 times the mass of our sun and is situated about 1,550 ...

Black holes are regions of space where gravity is so extreme that nothing, not even light—the fastest thing in the universe—can escape. But is there a possibility that planet Earth will ever be pulled ...

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 ...
