Artist's rendering of the James Webb Telescope in space Editor at Large NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope continues to deliver the goods. Launched on Christmas Day, 2021, it has since sent back a ...

Images taken of the Universe's most photogenic black hole over time reveal strange and exciting changes in its magnetic field. Using observations obtained using the Event Horizon Telescope in 2017, ...

LIGO, the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-wave Observatory, has been called the most precise ruler in the world for its ability to measure motions more than 10,000 times smaller than the width of a ...

Ten years ago, astronomers made an epic discovery with the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory. Cosmology hasn’t been the same since, and it might not stay that way much longer. Out ...

They’re the boogeymen of science fiction, a paradox of science and quite possibly a key to understanding the universe. Scientists have been scrambling to understand the mysterious forces of black ...

Efforts to understand the universe could get a boost from an AI developed by Google DeepMind. The algorithm, which can reduce unwanted noise by up to 100 times, could allow the Laser Interferometer ...

When a black hole and a neutron star finally meet, the result is cosmic carnage—and now, thanks to Caltech’s latest supercomputer simulations, we’re getting a front-row seat to the whole terrifying ...

Scientists say they detected the largest-ever merger of two black holes, forming one that is 225 times the mass of the sun, adding that the new discovery "pushes the limits of" how astronomers ...

Listen to more stories on the Noa app. To study the origins of our universe is to struggle with profound chicken-or-egg questions. We know the Big Bang happened. Cosmologists can see its afterglow in ...

A black hole with an extraordinary appetite, consuming the equivalent of 3,000 Suns every year, has left scientists both baffled and terrified. Its growth rate, which is a staggering 2.4 times faster ...

A gargantuan black hole hiding in a galaxy 5 billion light years away is the most massive that has been directly measured, more than 10,000 times as massive as the supermassive black hole at the ...

This is the first confirmed case of a star that survived an encounter with a supermassive black hole and came back for more. This discovery upends conventional wisdom about such tidal disruption ...
