"In order to get such high sensitivity in the mid-infrared, one needs to go to space, as the atmosphere severely messes up ...

Supermassive black holes are behemoths between millions and billions of times heavier than our sun that lurk at the centers of most galaxies in our universe, including our own Milky Way — and they're ...

NASA scientists have reached a breakthrough in computer modeling that allows them to simulate what gravitational waves from merging black holes look like. The three-dimensional simulations, the ...

Past research about black hole births rarely included magnetic fields or the spins of the precursor stars. But considering ...

The detection of gravitational waves in 2023 revealed a cosmic event that seemed to overturn known laws of astrophysics, ...

The story of a red giant star and a nearby black hole is less a tidy cosmic romance than a forensic case file, pieced ...

UNDATED (WKRC) - Falling into a black hole shouldn't be on any bucket lists, but that doesn't mean we can't wonder what it would be like if that were to ever happen. Following that same logic, NASA ...

Black holes are always fascinating, and a new simulation adds to their mystery. You likely did not previously associate them with fluffy angel-food cake, but researchers at Caltech recently put ...

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 ...
