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 ...

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.

Astronomers have spotted a supermassive black hole ripping apart and devouring a star in colliding galaxies. It is only the second time a tidal disruption event has been seen in interacting galaxies.

At its best, Black Hole Superette elevates rap-for-rap’s-sake into an ennobled Zen practice.Its guests include Billy Woods and ELUCID of Armand Hammer on “1010 WINS,” and Woods is ...

What lies at the heart of a black hole has puzzled physicists for decades. Now, a team led by physicist Enrico Rinaldi has taken a bold approach to the mystery.

According to the data, a star had come too close to a massive black hole and been ripped apart. Its stellar guts spiraled inward, heating up and glowing brightly across the electromagnetic spectrum.

A bomb from a black hole would probably be the most destructive weapon in the universe. Hypothetically, it could be created by wrapping one of these cosmic monsters in mirrors and waiting for it ...

UC Berkeley astronomers discovered a rogue black hole devouring a star 2,600 lightyears from its galaxy's core — the first optical detection of such an event. Support for LAist comes from.

“If the black hole went through a triple interaction with two other black holes in the galaxy’s core, it can still remain bound to the galaxy, orbiting around the central region,” said Yao. More TDE ...

If you are a sci-fi junkie you’ve probably wondered what would happen if you were unlucky enough to fall into a black hole. How well you’d fare all depends on the type of black hole.

Astronomers have identified a supermassive black hole located on the outskirts of a galaxy 600 million light-years from Earth, where it was observed consuming a nearby star.

NASA's Hubble Space Telescope spotted a supermassive black hole in an unexpected place, 2,600 light-years from the galaxy's core.
