Black holes are among the most extreme objects in the universe, and now scientists can model them more accurately than ever ...

Right at the brink of a black hole, gravity twists space and time so violently that ordinary physics starts to fall apart.

Supermassive black holes spiral towards each other in this simulation created by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center that shows how they glow in ultraviolet and X-ray light. The black holes are only 40 ...

The borderlands of black holes ought to be chaotic spaces where the rate at which matter is drawn across into oblivion is ...

Three merging galaxies host three active black holes, offering rare insight into galaxy and black hole growth.

Einstein’s equations were written for chalkboards and paper, yet they now sit at the heart of some of the most visually ...

In a new Physical Review Letters study, researchers have successfully followed a gravitational wave's complete journey from the infinite past to the infinite future as it encounters a black hole.

When black holes collide, the impact radiates into space like the sound of a bell in the form of gravitational waves. But ...

A new simulation could help solve one of astronomy’s longstanding mysteries—how supermassive black holes formed so rapidly—along with a new one: What are the James Webb Space Telescope’s (JWST) ...

At the center of the Milky Way galaxy exists a supermassive black hole that's more than four million times the sun's mass. A human traveling to the black hole's surface, known as the event horizon and ...

New simulations suggest magnetic fields hold the key to forming black holes that defy known mass limits. When powerful magnetic forces act on a collapsing, spinning star, they eject vast amounts of ...

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. When you purchase through links on our site, ...
