Space-time may hide a bizarre new kind of black hole that causes Einstein’s theory of gravity to fail – and could solve the ...
Black holes that have been obscured by clouds of dust still emit infrared light, enabling astronomers to spot them for the ...
The newly discovered "blazar," which has a mass equal to 700 million suns, is the oldest of its kind ever seen and changes ...
What exists at the core of a black hole? A research team led by Enrico Rinaldi, a physicist at the University of Michigan, ...
After decades of study, scientists sound genuinely optimistic about the possibility of detecting primordial black holes, which might explain dark matter.
Artist's impression of a supermassive black hole surrounded by gas and dust in four different wavelengths of light. Visible light (top right) and low-energy X-rays (bottom left) are blocked by the gas ...
By combining data from NASA’s IRAS and NuSTAR telescopes, scientists have uncovered more hidden supermassive black holes than earlier estimates suggested. Their findings indicate that over a third of ...
Twin jets erupt from a supermassive black hole in Draco, offering new insights into black hole activity and evolution.
A supermassive black hole has been discovered by astronomers that's shooting a giant energy beam directly at Earth.
These supermassive black holes generate tremendous friction in the flattened clouds ... in the hunt for this all-important universal phase change, possibly providing the energy to ionize neutral ...
It's believed that a dead stellar remnant, or white dwarf, could be spinning precariously on the edge of the black hole, causing the explosions of high-energy light. “This would be the closest ...
