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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.

When two black holes meet, they are drawn to one another by way of their enormous gravity, initiating a powerful orbital dance, spiraling closer together over time, until one subsumes the other and ...

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 ...
