At the heart of our galaxy sits a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). In addition to swallowing all matter in their vicinity, black holes like Sgr A* can also blow powerful “winds” ...

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 ...

In May 2019, astronomers picked up something strange in the fabric of spacetime. The LIGO and Virgo detectors recorded a gravitational wave that lasted just one-tenth of a second. The signal, known as ...

The names of three victims shot by a sniper at a Dallas ICE field office have been identified to USA TODAY by a senior Department of Homeland Security official who spoke on condition of anonymity. Two ...

We have found hot wind blasting out from our galaxy’s supermassive black hole for the first time, which could help us understand its mysterious inactivity. Compared to many other supermassive black ...
