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 after the first detection of gravitational waves, scientists have captured the clearest signal yet — and it confirms one of Stephen Hawking’s most famous predictions. Using the upgraded LIGO ...

Black holes are some of the most extreme mysterious objects in the universe. And when two black holes collide, shockwaves get sent out through the very fabric of space. This weekend, scientists are ...

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 ...

Black holes could soon help us understand dark matter. These extreme objects, long considered light traps, are now becoming observational tools. Through finer analysis of their images, ...

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

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 ...

Researchers have spent 10 years improving the massive detectors they use to catch shockwaves from colliding black holes. Now the science is precise enough to test one of Stephen Hawking's key ideas.
