Astronomers have detected a supermassive black hole flare thought to be the brightest and most distant discovered yet. Credit: Caltech / R. Hurt illustration A supermassive black hole tearing apart a ...

The black hole Gargantua is at the center of Interstellar. The 12 potentially habitable planets that can save humanity are ...

Albert Einstein's theory of gravity, general relativity, may not be the best recipe to describe black holes. New research suggests future images of black holes could be precise enough to allow ...

Mathematical quirks of our universe have led some cosmologists to wonder whether the cosmos was actually born in a black hole. Parallels in the physics of the universe and that of black holes have led ...

Earlier this year, researchers reported the most massive black hole merger ever detected. But the event was so unusual that questions around its origin sowed confusion within the astrophysics ...

A new mathematical model of a wormhole suggests that two black holes can be “cut and pasted.” Cut and paste is an official ...

"Black hole mergers allow us to observe the universe not through light, but through gravity — via gravitational waves produced by the distortion of space and time as black holes spiral together and ...

In 2023, astronomers detected a huge collision. Two unprecedentedly massive black holes had crashed an estimated 7 billion light-years away. The enormous masses and extreme spins of the black holes ...

In late October 2025, as much as US$2 billion vanished from a digital marketplace. This wasn't a hack or a bubble bursting. It happened because one company, Valve, changed the rules for its video game ...

New simulations suggest magnetic fields hold the key to forming black holes that defy known mass limits. When powerful magnetic forces act on a collapsing, spinning star, they eject vast amounts of ...
