While the 21st century has been bumpy, it has also ushered in monumental scientific and technological breakthroughs that have ...

A high-altitude balloon telescope has revealed new patterns in X-rays emitted near the black hole Cygnus X-1. These signals give scientists a clearer picture of how gas and radiation behave in the ...

Mathematical quirks of our universe have led some cosmologists to wonder whether the cosmos was actually born in a black hole. Parallels in the physics of the universe and that of black holes have led ...

Albert Einstein's theory of gravity, general relativity, may not be the best recipe to describe black holes. New research suggests future images of black holes could be precise enough to allow ...

"Black hole mergers allow us to observe the universe not through light, but through gravity — via gravitational waves produced by the distortion of space and time as black holes spiral together and ...

Why are the jets emitted by black holes or neutron stars always concentrated like a laser? Craig CaseTwain Harte, California ...

And now, popular Ohio beer brand and brewery Entropy Brewing Company posted on social media that it will not make it to New ...

"This challenges our understanding of black hole and galaxy formation in the early universe." Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have uncovered a voraciously feeding and rapidly ...

Researchers using the NASA/ESA/CSA James Webb Space Telescope have confirmed an actively growing supermassive black hole within a galaxy just 570 million years after the Big Bang. Part of a class of ...

What would happen if you got hit by a primordial black hole? In a study published this summer in the International Journal of Modern Physics D, Vanderbilt University physicist and sole author Robert ...

Earlier this year, researchers reported the most massive black hole merger ever detected. But the event was so unusual that questions around its origin sowed confusion within the astrophysics ...

The James Webb telescope may have detected the universe's earliest and most distant known black hole at the heart of galaxy GHZ2, revealing how the first black holes grew just a few hundred million ...
