These black holes are the most distant and stable objects we know. Using a technique called very long baseline interferometry ...

A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge ...

Black holes are one of our universe’s greatest mysteries, with no one really understanding what happens once an object passes ...

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

Caltech simulations reveal what happens when black holes collide with neutron stars—violent cracking, intense shock waves, ...

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

These three panels are taken from a supercomputer simulation of a merger between a black hole (large black circle) and a neutron star (colored blob). The images, which move forward in time from ...

Rather than a black hole singularity, their approach indicates the existence of “strong quantum fluctuations,” which the release describes as “tiny, temporary changes in the energy of space.” ...

Black holes are astronomical objects with a gravitational pull so strong that not even light can escape them. They form when the core of a massive star collapses in on itself. While it was ...

Stars that wander too close to supermassive black holes may be violently undone in a process called "spaghettification." New simulations provide the most detailed look ever at the gory interaction.

What would it be like to enter a colossal black hole whose mass is 4.3 million times greater than that of the Sun? Difficult as it may be to imagine, this is precisely the theme of a new NASA project.
