Few things in space are as bright as a supernova, but recently astronomer captured a flash out in the cosmos so great their ...

Very massive stars are cosmic "rock stars" that live fast, die young and leave black holes in their place. During this ...

The earliest and most distant supermassive black hole discovered thus far by JWST is CEERS 1019, which existed just 570 ...

Astronomers at the University of Hawaii uncovered black hole events so packed with energy, they were the biggest explosions ...

“ENTs are different beasts,” study lead author and astronomer Jason Hinkle explained in an accompanying statement. “Not only are ENTs far brighter than normal tidal disruption events, but they remain ...

The Universe is a vast, twinkling enigma, teasing us with secrets that feel like they're just out of reach. Scientists at ...

Scientists have discovered the most powerful blasts of energy in the known universe. Dubbed extreme nuclear transients, or ENTs, the cosmic explosions are unprecedented in their intensity.

The explosion of a star, called a supernova, is an immensely violent event. It usually involves a star more than eight times ...

With no sign of a supernova throughout this period, the researchers concluded that roughly 98% of the star's mass collapsed, leaving behind a black hole with about 6.5 solar masses.

Astronomers working with the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) have detected patterns showing ...

Black holes are points in space that are so dense they create deep gravity sinks. Beyond a certain region, not even light can escape the powerful tug of a black hole's gravity. And anything that ...
