Gravitational waves stretch and squeeze the fabric of space and time itself. When space/time is squeezed, pulsar pulses ...

"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in ...

Hubble spotted a rare off-center black hole shredding a star, revealing the first optical discovery of a wandering ...

A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge ...

We know black hole mergers occur because we can detect the resulting gravitational waves. But when trying to piece together ...

The Hubble Space Telescope has found evidence of a "wandering" black hole about 5000 light years away in the Milky Way galaxy. Astronomers estimate that there could be 100 million black holes ...

Scientists believe the Milky Way contains up to 400 billion stars and at least as many planets. The largest galaxy known, IC 1101, has more than 100 trillion stars. Step outside on a clear night and ...

A new study has been accepted by the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics that proposes two new models of black ...

The monster black hole at the center of our galaxy is spinning at ear "top speed," according to a new artificial intelligence (AI) model. The model, trained partially on complex telescope data ...

Most galaxies around the size of the Milky Way or larger have a supermassive black hole skulking in their center. Each of these black holes can be millions or even billions of times more massive ...

Two supermassive black holes carrying the faint light of the Big Bang, 11.6 billion and 11.7 billion light-years away, have ...
