What’s on the other side of a black hole? That’s one of the biggest mysteries in space science! Black holes are super strong gravity pits, so once anything crosses the "event horizon" (their point of ...

Are black holes tunnels to other locations in spacetime? Are they wormholes connecting different regions of the universe? A study has provided a clear answer to this question. The remainder of this ...

Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar was a phenomenon in 2014. Set in the future, Earth has been struck by a global crop blight.

Black holes are often imagined as cosmic vacuum cleaners, devouring everything in their path, but what would actually happen if you dared to venture into one even for just a nanosecond? The answer is ...

They’re the boogeymen of science fiction, a paradox of science and quite possibly a key to understanding the universe. Scientists have been scrambling to understand the mysterious forces of black ...

As federal funding cuts impact decades of research, scientists could turn to black holes for cheaper, natural alternatives to expensive facilities searching for dark matter and similarly elusive ...

For decades, scientists have known black holes often come in pairs. These binary systems feature a black hole locked in a gravitational dance with a nearby object—usually a star, neutron star, or ...

Lightning might not strike twice, but black holes apparently do. An international group of researchers led by Tel Aviv University astronomers observed a flare caused when a star falls onto a black ...

This is the first confirmed case of a star that survived an encounter with a supermassive black hole and came back for more. This discovery upends conventional wisdom about such tidal disruption ...

The drama began in 2024, when a sky-scanning telescope known as the Zwicky Transient Facility picked up a sudden brightening in the night sky. But there was a twist: the object, now named AT2024tvd, ...
