University of Oregon astronomer Yvette Cendes made a surprising discovery years after a black hole shredded a star. What is ...

Black holes that turn matter into energy could explain dark energy and answer two other cosmic questions. Now, the challenge ...

A burst of X-rays from 8 billion years ago may be the first clear evidence of a white dwarf torn apart by a black hole. The study, coordinated by Dongyue Li and Wenda Zhang of the Chinese Academy of ...

Ripples in the fabric of space-time called gravitational waves may be the key to solving the Hubble tension — one of the biggest nagging problems in physics.

A subtle gravitational-wave “hum” from merging black holes may help settle the cosmic fight over how fast the universe is ...

The Hubble Space Telescope's evidence of an "intermediate-sized" black hole about 6000 light-years away in the closest ...

The black hole would have to be within 25 light years from Earth, and we haven’t seen one that close yet. That’s not stopping Cosimo Bambi.

During the survey, researchers identified a promising 8.19-millisecond pulsar (MSP) candidate located close to Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy.

A ‘runaway’ black hole ejected from its host galaxy is barrelling across space — and leaving behind a wake of newborn stars. A 2023 paper 1 reported the discovery of a bright, straight feature that ...

The KM3NeT collaboration is a large research group involved in the operation of a neutrino telescope network in the deep ...

Scientists scanning the heart of the Milky Way have spotted a tantalizing signal: a possible ultra-fast pulsar spinning every 8.19 milliseconds near Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at our ...

An ancient, fast-feeding quasar is breaking the rules of how black holes consume matter and generate galaxy-shaping jets.
