Efforts to limit ozone-depleting chemical compounds had a significant impact. The ozone hole over the Antarctic is significantly smaller in 2025 than in previous years, ranking as the fifth-smallest ...

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 ...

"This challenges our understanding of black hole and galaxy formation in the early universe." Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have uncovered a voraciously feeding and rapidly ...

Researchers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have confirmed an actively growing supermassive black hole within a galaxy just 570 million years after the Big Bang. Part of a class of ...

These black holes were considered "forbidden" because stars of that size were thought to blow themselves apart in extremely powerful explosions, leaving behind no remnant that could collapse into a ...

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 ...

New images from the Event Horizon Telescope show that the polarization pattern around M87* – the first black hole ever photographed – has changed, flipping direction over just four years. The result, ...

This article is part of a package in collaboration with Forbes on time capsules, preserving information and communicating with the future. Read more from the report. Yet according to physics, ...

As the U.S. continues its transition to domestic energy and power, Renewable Natural Gas (“RNG”) delivers by providing both economic and environmental benefits. With origins in organic waste and ...

The center of our Milky Way galaxy is anything but calm. A supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), about four million times the mass of the Sun, calls this crowded region home. We ...
