Welcome to the ultimate cosmic countdown! Today, we’re diving into the mysterious and mind-bending world of black holes with ...

Black holes are places where gravity is so powerful that nothing — not even light — can escape. Rather than being empty, black holes are chock full of matter that gets squeezed into a teensy space.

Astronomers have detected spacetime itself being dragged and twisted by a spinning black hole for the first time. The ...

Whenever someone talks about black holes, they almost always talk about the event horizon and the singularity. After all, that's what defines a black hole, right? Well, it depends on what you mean by ...

For the first time, scientists observed a black hole tearing apart a star far from its galaxy’s center, producing the fastest-changing radio signals ever recorded. The event, AT 2024tvd, revealed ...

A new simulation could help solve one of astronomy’s longstanding mysteries—how supermassive black holes formed so rapidly—along with a new one: What are the James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) ...

Exploring the BTZ black hole in (2+1)-dimensional gravity took me down a fascinating rabbit hole, connecting ideas I never expected—like black holes and topological phases in quantum matter! When I ...

This article is part of a package in collaboration with Forbes on time capsules, preserving information and communicating with the future. Read more from the report. Yet according to physics, ...

Two black holes merged together 2.4 billion light years away from Earth, and scientists have just figured out how fast the newborn ricocheted, and in which direction. When you purchase through links ...

Gravitational waves—ripples in space-time caused by violent cosmic events—travel at the speed of light in every direction, eventually fading out like ripples in water. But some events are so ...

"We'll have to rewrite our interpretation of these flares and what they can teach us about the monsters lying in the centers of galaxies." A distant supermassive black hole may have bitten off more ...
