Most supermassive black holes lurk in the nuclei of galaxies, surrounded by stars and glowing with haloes of superhot matter, ...

Scientists first detected ripples in space known as gravitational waves from the merger of two black holes in September 2015. This discovery marked the culmination of a 100-year quest to prove one of ...

Gravitational wave signals from the largest cosmic collision ever seen may alter our understanding of black holes, gravity, ...

A black hole is a celestial body with an extremely powerful gravitational force, so strong that even light cannot escape it.

Scientists in the United States have discovered the biggest-known merger of two black holes using gravitational wave ...

Scientists spotted an enormous black hole in the early universe that's growing at 2.4 times the theoretical Eddington limit.

Researchers from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO) of the Chinese Academy of Sciences have revealed for the first ...

"Black-hole mergers can be understood as a superposition of different signals, just like the music of an orchestra consistent ...

Scientists from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory have uncovered the process of gas accretion in star formation, shedding light on how gas flows towards a forming star's disk.

Ten years after the milestone that revolutionized cosmology, scientists grouped in the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA collaboration present the gravitational waves resulting from the collision of two black holes, ...

Hard to believe it has been 10 years since the first detection of gravitational waves. Back then, on Sept. 14, 2015, at 5:51 a.m., it had been 100 years since Albert Einstein predicted gravitational ...

A collaborative team has revealed new observational evidence that sheds light on the mystery of massive star formation. Researchers from Yunnan University, the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory of the ...
