Black holes may leak more energy to their surroundings than previously suspected — and the faster these voids spin, the more efficient this energy extraction seems to be. With this in mind, a team of ...

This illustration depicts two black holes colliding in space. The collision sends gravitational waves, ripples in the curvature of spacetime, radiating through space. These waves can be detected by ...

HOUSTON -- To the moon and beyond. For decades, that has been the goal of NASA and its world-famous space crews. One integral part of that mission has been Black astronauts, who are chronicled in ...

The fish was found at 200 to 2,000 meters below the surface. At least 16 types of recently discovered deep-sea fish are among the darkest creatures ever found, according to a study published Thursday.

Astrophysicists are marveling at the latest celestial discovery made near the Milky Way's supermassive black hole. Scientists ...

Scientists have spotted the brightest flare yet from a supermassive black hole that shines with the light of 10 trillion suns. These bursts of light and energy can come from things like tangled-up ...

The scientists who precisely measure the position of Earth are in a bit of trouble. Their measurements are essential for the satellites we use for navigation, communication and Earth observation every ...

Astronomers say they've discovered a new record holder for the most massive black hole merger to date. The merger is so big — roughly 255 solar masses — that it shouldn't technically be possible ...

Astronomers examining data from the James Webb Space Telescope say they've spotted what might be the oldest black hole in the universe, born less than a second after the Big Bang. Their findings, ...
