For the first time, scientists measured a newborn black hole that "kicked" off into space after 2 larger black holes merged together.

Scientists have identified the origins of the blue color in one of Jackson Pollock's paintings with a little help from ...

"This tells us that the magnetized plasma swirling near the event horizon is far from static; it's dynamic and complex, ...

Around 13,000 years ago, something dramatic happened on Earth. Mammoths, mastodons, and many other giant animals suddenly ...

Researchers have spent 10 years improving the massive detectors they use to catch shockwaves from colliding black holes. Now the science is precise enough to test one of Stephen Hawking's key ideas.

In 1971, Stephen Hawking theorized that a black hole's event horizon can never shrink. Recently, LIGO confirmed this by ...

Normally, merging black holes have a similar mass to one another because this creates the right type of gravitational friction for them to come together. At the time, GW190814 was the "most unequal ...

Scientists detect the strongest gravitational wave ever, supporting Einstein’s relativity and Hawking’s black hole area law ...

Black holes are some of the most violent and destructive objects in the universe. And as terrifying as it sounds, thousands of these mysterious voids could be whizzing through your home at this very ...

New fear unlocked: spontaneous black hole implosion. Fresh research predicts that planets may be able to accumulate enough dark matter to suddenly form a black hole at their core. As the intruder ...

Researchers have spent 10 years improving the massive detectors they use to catch shockwaves from colliding black holes, and ...
