A puzzling gravitational wave was detected, and astronomers have determined that it comes from a record-breaking black hole ...

Gravitational waves spotted by LIGO reveal two black holes, 140 and 100 times the mass of the sun, merged to become a 225 solar mass behemoth.

But in the past two decades, new types of black holes have been seen and astronomers are beginning to understand how they ...

For over a century, black holes have fascinated physicists with their mysterious nature and immense gravitational power. Now, a breakthrough from renowned physicist Michio Kaku brings us closer than ...

With the recent first light milestone for the Vera Rubin Observatory, it's only a matter of time before one of astronomy's most long-awaited surveys begins. The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) ...

The bold question-askers at What If venture beyond the event horizon to speculate what could lie inside a black hole.

ASKAP J0107–2347 uncovers an ancient black hole event and unearths relics of galactic prehistory. More of these double-lobed Giant Radio Galaxies could be discovered in future ASKAP surveys, helping ...

Supermassive black holes usually lurk unseen, but when an unlucky star drifts too close they ignite titanic outbursts brighter than 100 supernovae. By mixing NASA, ESA, and ground-based data, ...

Study reveals that high-energy cosmic rays are born in magnetic fields during neutron star mergers, a prelude to black holes.

A powerful new technique is poised to revolutionize how astronomers observe black holes, by producing sharp, multicolored ...

The mystery radio pulses were picked up about 25 miles (40 kilometers) above Earth by the Antarctic Impulsive Transient Antenna (ANITA) experiment. ANITA is a series of instruments that float over ...
