"Very massive stars are like the 'rock stars' of the universe — they are powerful, and they live fast and die young." ...

Gravitational waves stretch and squeeze the fabric of space and time itself. When space/time is squeezed, pulsar pulses ...

"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in ...

The scientists who precisely measure the position of Earth are in a bit of trouble. Their measurements are essential for the ...

Black holes, once purely theoretical, are now observable phenomena, offering insights into the universe. Their intense ...

These black holes are the most distant and stable objects we know. Using a technique called very long baseline interferometry ...

How astronomers used gravitational lensing, a space-time trick predicted by Einstein, to detect a black hole measuring 30 billion times the mass of the sun.

Using the XMM-Newton telescope, astronomers have witnessed high-speed "burps" erupting from a distant overfeeding ...

A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge ...

Astronomers at the University of Hawaii uncovered black hole events so packed with energy, they were the biggest explosions ...

Supermassive black holes usually lurk unseen, but when an unlucky star drifts too close they ignite titanic outbursts ...

The Hubble Space Telescope has found evidence of a "wandering" black hole about 5000 light years away in the Milky Way galaxy ...
