Ten years ago, astronomers made history when they first detected ripples in spacetime, called gravitational waves, from the ...

Scientists have confirmed two long-standing theories relating to black holes—thanks to the detection of the most clearly ...

Astronomers detected in unprecedented detail a collision between two black holes. Their observations confirm predictions made ...

Mathematical quirks of our universe have led some cosmologists wonder whether the cosmos was actually born in a black hole.

A decade ago, scientists first detected ripples in the fabric of space-time, called gravitational waves, from the collision ...

Gravitational waves emitted after two black holes coalesced agree with theories from physicists Stephen Hawking and Roy Kerr.

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), launched in 2022, continues to reshape how we view the cosmos. Designed to look deeper into space and further back in time than any previous instrument, it has ...

Researchers conducted innovative simulations of spinning black holes grounded in general relativity, which clarified that the ultraluminous accretion disk (i.e., gaseous spiral surrounding a black ...

Ten years after LIGO’s historical detection of gravitational waves, the project is cracking black hole mysteries at an ...

What does the M87 black hole in 'Interstellar' actually look like in reality? Recently, while rewatching 'Interstellar', I ...

Black holes exert a tremendous influence on their surroundings, meaning that when they spin, they literally drag the very fabric of space and time around with them. That means nothing can sit still ...

Physicists have detected the biggest ever merger of colliding black holes. The discovery has major implications for researchers’ understanding of how such bodies grow in the Universe. “It’s super ...
