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

A neutron star's final moments may spark violent starquakes, monster shock waves, and even a fleeting, never-before-seen object called a black hole pulsar.

Researchers have observed strange goings-on around a supermassive black hole located nearly 300 million light years away.

A new paper claims astronomers discovered an ultramassive black hole heavier than any other black hole we've ever measured.

A NASA video reveals in stunning detail what falling into a black hole would look like. A NASA astrophysicist used Einstein's general theory of relativity to simulate the wild ride. The black hole ...

The Sagittarius A* supermassive black hole at the core of the Milky Galaxy may be "warping the spacetime surrounding it into ...

Around 300 million lightyears away from us, at the core of a galaxy obliquely named ESO 583-G004, a supermassive black hole caught a star in its grisly orbit, and began to unravel it like a spool ...

Scientists are puzzled by a new type of black hole that has light emerging from its dark spot and said that it could actually be a new kind of cosmic entity. The mysterious cosmic object is a ...

ULTRA-powerful black holes can suck down stars like spaghetti and tear them to shreds, a new animation reveals. Our galaxy, the Milky Way, features a black hole at its heart that occasionally chows… ...

Black holes are invisible, yet they are among the brightest things in the universe. If a star wanders too close to a black ...

A new solution to Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity suggests hypothetical gravitational stars that look like black holes could be nested within one another. A newly developed solution ...

The object looks identical to a black hole, but there’s light coming out from its dark spot,” Pierre Heidmann, who led the research from Johns Hopkins University in the US, said in a statement.
