Gravitational waves stretch and squeeze the fabric of space and time itself. When space/time is squeezed, pulsar pulses ...

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

"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in ...

Using the XMM-Newton telescope, astronomers have witnessed high-speed "burps" erupting from a distant overfeeding ...

Traditionally thought to go silent after a brief flare of activity, some black holes are now being observed emitting new ...

The three examples the team highlighted in a new study describe supermassive black holes feasting on stars more than three times as massive as our own sun.The events, dubbed “extreme nuclear ...

So, as the black holes begin their deadly dance, the event horizons elongate and stretch toward each other. We understand what happens next only through complex computer simulations that monitor ...

Could Black Hole-Sized Magnetic Fields Be Created on Earth? Posted: October 8, 2024 ... 2024. The magnetic fields are more than a thousand times stronger than the magnetic field used in MRI machines.

There is only indirect evidence of the existence of black holes. A laboratory demonstration of an X-ray interferometer is a step towards achieving the angular resolution necessary to obtain a ...

A radical hypothesis suggesting black holes could be behind the accelerating expansion of our universe has been stirring up controversy among astronomers. A new study may contain the first ...

CENDES: So for the Gaia black holes, they're actually the closest black holes that we know of to Earth. So the closest black hole, about 1,600 light years from us.

If that black hole generation happened on the early side—in the first one-100,000th of a second—then we have the conditions we need for colorful black holes.
