Talk about catching lightning in a bottle. On back-to-back days, Tom (Muff) Schroeder of Le Mars hit hole-in-ones at Willow ...

Despite weighing about a million times the mass of our sun, the black hole wasn't found at the center of its host galaxy, ...

Every time this doomed star plunges through a supermassive black hole's accretion disk, it loses orbital energy and triggers ...

Among the events it can identify are tidal disruption events, where a star gets spaghettified by the enormous gravity of a ...

Black holes are the hungry monsters of the cosmos: enormously dense objects that can suck in any material which strays too close and then devour it. Now, astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope ...

New research challenges the long-accepted notion of singularities in black holes — the point where physics allegedly breaks ...

Dubbed AT2024tvd, the burst of radiation from this " tidal disruption event " (TDE) was also picked up by NASA's Chandra ...

In the early universe, primordial black holes could acquire a "dark charge," giving them an unnaturally long lifetime, new research suggests. This makes them an interesting candidate for dark matter.

Physicists have successfully recreated a theoretical phenomenon related to black holes in the laboratory. This experiment opens new perspectives for understanding these mysterious ...

Quasars represent some of the most luminous and energetic phenomena in the universe. These distant powerhouses are driven by ...

According to the IXPE's findings, high optical to X-ray polarization ratio indicates that Compton scattering might be the mechanism of X-ray generation. There are two possible and competing ...

The star-snacking black hole gave itself away when several ground-based sky survey telescopes observed a flare as bright as a ...
