NASA's James Webb Space Telescope has been unwaveringly focused on our universe. With its unprecedented power to detect and ...

The Big Bang model begins with a point of infinite density where the laws of physics break down. This is a deep theoretical problem that suggests the beginning of the Universe is not fully understood, ...

These black holes are the most distant and stable objects we know. Using a technique called very long baseline interferometry ...

"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in ...

How does the camera on the James Webb Space Telescope work and see so far out? – Kieran G., age 12, Minnesota Imagine a ...

Suppose the birth of the universe was not a definite start, but a cosmological rebound far within a black hole? This radical idea has been picking up steam as new theoretical research, spearheaded by ...

Astronomers studying a distant galaxy cluster stumbled upon ancient radio signals that might hold clues to the formation of ...

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

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

The cosmos has once again thrown humanity into a whirlwind of questions, and this time, the answers may be scarier than we imagined. In a jaw-dropping revelation, scientists studying data from NASA’s ...

Black holes are invisible, yet they are among the brightest things in the universe. If a star wanders too close to a black hole, it gets torn apart in a fireworks show called a tidal disruption ...
