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

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 ...

Gravitational waves stretch and squeeze the fabric of space and time itself. When space/time is squeezed, pulsar pulses ...

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

The scientists who precisely measure the position of Earth are in a bit of trouble. Their measurements are essential for the ...

Caltech simulations reveal what happens when black holes collide with neutron stars—violent cracking, intense shock waves, ...

A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge ...

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.
