Astronomers have used a range of telescopes, including Hubble, to watch as particles dance around a neutron star collision ...

For perspective, that's like converting three entire suns into pure energy. When black holes collide, they release more energy than every star in the universe — and all of it happens in complete ...

Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) can have billions of solar masses, and observational evidence suggests that all large ...

Nijmegen master's students predict that LISA, an upcoming space antenna project by the ESA, will detect stronger ...

As its name suggests, a white hole is the opposite of a black hole in many ways; where a black hole swallows all light and matter, a white hole can spill it out. Physicists originally considered ...

Massive stars about eight times more massive than the sun explode as supernovae at the end of their lives. The explosions, ...

A recent study has proposed a new mechanism for the formation of primordial black holes that could provide answers about dark matter.

As you can probably imagine by this point, falling into a black hole would be terrifying. "If you fell into a black hole, the gravitational pull would stretch you out in a process called ...

astronomers recently spotted double the expected amount of supernovae along a massive 3,000-light-year-long jet blasting out of the supermassive black hole at the galaxy’s center. Researchers ...
