A new hypothesis from physicists at the University of Portsmouth in the U.K. challenges the long-standing Big Bang Theory as the ultimate origin of the universe. This new “Black Hole Universe ...

An artist's concept of a black hole orbited by a neutron star. Image: Caltech/R. Hurt (IPAC) When a black hole and a neutron star finally meet, the result is cosmic carnage—and now, thanks to ...

Sometimes a black hole is orbited by a neutron star—the dense corpse of a star also formed from a supernova explosion but which contains less mass than a black hole.

A new set of simulations offers an unparalleled look at the dramatic collision between a black hole and a neutron star, revealing the violent forces that take place just before the star is consumed.

If these black holes lie close enough together, they will ultimately collide and form an even more massive black hole. advertisement. Phys.org. Star quakes and monster shock waves: ...

In this framework, our entire observable universe lies inside the interior of a black hole formed in some larger “parent” universe. We are not special, no more than Earth was in the geocentric ...

NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has detected one of the most powerful black hole jets ever observed. The jets were emanating from a galaxy 11.6 billion light-years away from the earth. This jet ...

The standard model of cosmology may be the best explanation we've got for why the universe is the way it is and how it all came to be. But it's not the only explanation. Enter black hole cosmology ...

A team of astronomers led by Michael Janssen (Radboud University, The Netherlands) has trained a neural network with millions of synthetic black hole data sets. Based on the network and data from ...

It’s the largest black hole jet we’ve discovered to date. What makes this particular jet so exciting for astronomers is not only its size. It’s also estimated to be 1.2 billion years old.

"The difference between a supercollider and a black hole is that black holes are far away, but nevertheless, these particles will get to us.” To unlock the secrets of dark matter, scientists ...

Astronomers at the University of Hawaii uncovered black hole events so packed with energy, they were the biggest explosions seen since the Big Bang.
