When scientists discovered an enormous black hole thousands of light-years from where it ought to be in space, they knew they ...

A black hole far from its galactic center has unleashed the fastest, brightest radio flares ever seen from a star’s ...

Theoretical physicists have long debated the possible existence of wormholes, which are mathematically possible, but no evidence points to their physical existence. One theory suggests that these ...

Scientists have for the first time ever succeeded in getting some data on a newborn black hole that was sent hurtling off into space after two larger ones collided together and "birthed" it. The ...

Exploring the BTZ black hole in (2+1)-dimensional gravity took me down a fascinating rabbit hole, connecting ideas I never expected—like black holes and topological phases in quantum matter! When I ...

A new study may visually solve an enduring mystery about a bright object that's been studied since the 19th century ...

Black holes are well known for swallowing everything around them, which is probably why they get talked about so often. On the flip side, white holes are their mysterious opposite. These theoretical ...

Astronomers have discovered the oldest and most distant black hole — a behemoth that likely formed at the dawn of the universe, more than 13 billion years ago. The black hole lies at the center of a ...

The polarization pattern around M87* — the first black hole to be directly imaged by the Event Horizon Telescope — has ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Theoretical physicists have long debated the possible existence of wormholes, which are mathematically possible, but no evidence points to their ...

The younger black hole, the product of a cataclysmic cosmic event known as a black hole merger, was first spotted in 2019. Now, about 6 years later, a team of international researchers led by the ...
