Scientists have for the first time ever succeeded in getting some data on a newborn black hole that was sent hurtling off into space after two larger ones collided together and "birthed" it. The ...

The younger black hole, the product of a cataclysmic cosmic event known as a black hole merger, was first spotted in 2019. Now, about 6 years later, a team of international researchers led by the ...

Ten years ago, astronomers made history when they first detected ripples in spacetime, called gravitational waves, from the collision of two black holes. That moment in 2015, known as GW150914, ...

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 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 ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope's infrared camera, scientists have captured the gigantic jet blasting out of M87* in a ...

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 ...

Scientists working to study black holes use specific radio frequencies to track black holes, the same frequencies often used by phones and wifi. This article was originally published at The ...

Scientists have detected the biggest black hole merger ever known — a gigantic collision from two massive space-time ruptures spiraling into each other — and it could hold evidence of the most elusive ...

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 have discovered a "fast and furious" super-powered small black hole, the first that scientists have been able to closely examine. According to a press release issued last week by the ...
