At cosmological scales, Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity has given scientists an immensely accurate blueprint ...

In a major breakthrough for astronomy, scientists have captured an incredibly detailed image of a powerful jet shooting out from a distant black hole. This was made possible by connecting some of the ...

Instead of a tempest in a teapot, imagine the cosmos in a canister. Scientists have performed experiments using nested, ...

Properties of “Lite” Intermediate-mass Black Hole Candidates in LIGO-Virgo’s Third Observing Run. The Astrophysical Journal Letters, 2025; 985 (2): L37 DOI: 10.3847/2041-8213/adc5f8 ...

Black holes generally come in two sizes: big and really big. As they are so dense, they are measured in terms of mass rather than size, and astronomers call these two groups of stellar mass black ...

Black holes are known for their voracious appetites, consuming everything — even light — that falls inside them with no hope of escape. But in 1974, Stephen Hawking proposed that in fact ...

What Are Black Hole Supermazes? Supermazes come from M-theory, an umbrella idea that includes multiple versions of string theory, in which our universe contains 11 dimensions—not just the four ...

In 1974, Stephen Hawking proposed that black holes could evaporate. But do we understand how this might happen? When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission ...
