Astronomers have discovered a hitherto unseen population of galaxies with fading radio lobes, revealing what happens when ...

Physicists have long believed that black holes explode at the end of their lives, and that such explosions happen—at most—only once every 100,000 years. But new research published in Physical Review ...

A black hole is often described as a cosmic point of no return, a region in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, ...

New simulations suggest magnetic fields hold the key to forming black holes that defy known mass limits. When powerful magnetic forces act on a collapsing, spinning star, they eject vast amounts of ...

Did we just see a black hole explode? UMass Amherst’s physicists think so. This artist’s concept takes a fanciful approach to imagining small primordial black holes. Image via NASA/ Goddard Space ...

In 2023, a subatomic particle called a neutrino crashed into Earth with such a high amount of energy that it should have been impossible. In fact, there are no known sources anywhere in the universe ...

JWST has captured unusually detailed images of gas feeding the supermassive black hole at the center of NGC 4696. A vast filament appears to funnel material into an 800-light-year-wide spinning disk, ...

A new discovery about what happens when a supernova – an exploding star – and a black hole collide could change the way scientists understand the lives and deaths of stars. The finding was the first ...
