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.

The first picture image of the black hole at in the M87 galaxy was released in 2019. Thanks to machine-learning tech, we now have a clearer look. Hotspots ranked Start the day smarter ☀️ ...

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 ...

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 ...

Sometimes, that material can block the emissions and make it harder to see what a black hole looks like, which is often the case with supermassive black holes. At any rate, humanity has a pretty ...

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 ...

For the non-astronomy-minded, a black hole probably isn’t something you would associate with bright light. Apparently, however, that’s exactly what one looks like while it’s consuming a star ...

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.
