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.

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.

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 ...

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

The satellites the world relies on for navigation, communication and more get their bearings from distant black holes – but ...

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

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.

Using NASA's Chandra X-ray telescope, astronomers witnessed a massive black hole jet slam into an unknown object in space.

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 ...
