Particles orbiting a black hole could collide at colossal energies, generating collision products that may offer valuable insights for particle physics ...

"Theories involving substantial formation of stars prior to or together with the black hole formation and growth are very unlikely." ...

Astronomers working with the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) have detected patterns showing ...

New research is shedding light on what researchers call "lite" intermediate-mass black holes, which are smaller, but still ...

The universe is a happening place—full of exploding stars, erupting black holes, zipping asteroids, and much more. The Rubin Observatory released its first images last week, and they’re stunning—vast, ...

These are rare occurrences—scientists estimate that the giant black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy gobbles a star ...

These explosions, called extreme nuclear transients, shine for longer than typical supernovas and get 30 to 1,000 times as bright.

When people think of black holes, they imagine something dramatic: a star exploding in space, collapsing in on itself, and forming a cosmic monster that eats everything around it.

A bomb from a black hole would probably be the most destructive weapon in the universe. Hypothetically, it could be created by wrapping one of these cosmic monsters in mirrors and waiting for it ...

After decades of efforts, astronomers have found evidence suggesting a supermassive black hole in the middle of a nearby galaxy called Messier 83, or M83. Earlier, there were hints that there ...

A star exploding in a supernovae or being ejected from a tight cluster of stars are a couple ways. Close encounters with a black hole are another.

Quasars, or extremely active black holes are the brightest objects in the universe. But aren't black holes meant to be invisible? USPS Announces Changes To First-Class Mail, Other Services Lester ...
