The supermassive black hole is that first one that astronomers ever photographed. For more than a century, astronomers have marveled at the brilliant jet of matter blasting from the heart of the giant ...
For the first time, scientists have detected a cosmic hum — the faint vibration of gravitational waves filling the universe.
In a recent piece for my column The Universe, I wrote about the biggest black holes in the cosmos. These can tip the scales at many billions of times the sun’s mass, outweighing even entire galaxies.
Astronomers have spotted a monster black hole in the early universe that's gorging on matter at more than twice the theoretical limit. The discovery deepens the mystery of how some black holes born ...
A black hole is growing at one of the fastest rates ever recorded, according to a team of astronomers. This discovery from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory may help explain how some black holes can ...
Some things in cosmology may simply be unknowable. Why is there something rather than nothing? What lies outside the universe? What is inside a black hole? That last one has been niggling at ...
Scientists spotted an enormous black hole in the early universe that's growing at 2.4 times the theoretical Eddington limit. Studying it further could help answer one of the biggest questions in ...
Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers discovered an extreme version of "little red dots" dubbed "The Cliff." Its light suggests that it could be a never-before-seen class of objects called ...
The highest energy neutrino ever detected from space may finally have an origin story. Mathematical analyses suggest that the ghost particle could’ve come from a theoretical object known as a ...
“The People’s Country Club,” they call it. But it’s only meant for people who are “highly skilled” at golf. A famous sign by the 1st tee even says so. That demographic — single-digit handicaps and ...
In a break from tradition, GoPro hasn’t announced a new Hero Black camera this fall. Instead, this year’s flagship is the much-rumored Max 2 360 camera ($500). The Max 2 lands at a time when spherical ...
