Hubble spotted a rare off-center black hole shredding a star, revealing the first optical discovery of a wandering ...

A groundbreaking simulation reveals how neutron star mergers forge black holes, generate gamma-ray bursts, and scatter gold ...

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

A new quantum recipe for black holes could be the first step toward a theory of "quantum gravity", the "holy grail" of ...

A team of scientists is proposing a bold alternative to the Big Bang theory, suggesting that our universe may have instead formed inside a colossal black hole.

The black hole is located 11.6 billion light-years from Earth when the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the leftover glow from the Big Bang, was much denser than it is now.

Study reveals that high-energy cosmic rays are born in magnetic fields during neutron star mergers, a prelude to black holes.

Black holes are the notorious loners of the universe since getting close to them usually means catastrophic destruction. The latest victim who attempted friendship with one of these hungry giants ...

A new class of cosmic explosions — which emit more energy than any other brightness-changing event — may come from megastars getting shredded by supermassive black holes (illustrated). Adam ...
