A controversial theory suggests the observable universe is the result of matter rebounding after the collapse of a black hole ...

When two enormous black holes collide in deep space, they send shockwaves rippling across the universe. These shockwaves, called gravitational waves, bend and stretch the fabric of space itself.

UC Berkeley astronomers discovered a rogue black hole devouring a star 2,600 lightyears from its galaxy's core — the first optical detection of such an event.

Black holes, when they're just lurking around in space, are very difficult to spot, especially in other galaxies. They don't emit any radiation we can currently detect, and that's our main tool ...

NASA's X-ray space telescope Chandra spotted the cosmic collision from the supermassive black hole at the heart of the galaxy Centaurus A.

Findings could imply that the Big Bang would no longer be an isolated event and suggest that every black hole in our universe ...

Crucially, this bounce occurs entirely within the framework of general relativity, which applies on large scales such as ...

Supermassive black holes are found at the center of massive galaxies like our own Milky Way. Check out these 7 rare images of black holes shared by NASA ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), launched in 2021, is currently the most powerful space observatory ever built.

A star met a violent end in a galaxy far, far away — about 600 million light-years from Earth. It wandered too close to a black hole and was ripped apart in a bright burst of light.

Whatever its origin, this rogue black hole may not remain isolated forever. A black hole merger that could release these powerful gravitational waves that Yao mentioned could one day be detected by ...
