Often seen as destructive, supermassive black holes could help sustain life under specific conditions, scientists have found.

Scientists from Keele University have found strong evidence that some of Earth’s past mass extinctions could have been caused by nearby supernova explosions—massive star explosions in the Milky Way.

Why Do Black Holes Form? Black holes form when a huge amount of matter is squeezed into a very small space. Cram enough ...

A supernova — the explosive death of a massive star — can leave behind a black hole or neutron star. These cosmic blasts are element factories, spreading carbon, calcium, and iron across space, ...

For this reason black holes are invisible to the eye, as lightless as the empty, dark space surrounding them. Scientists know they exist not because they can see an actual hole, b ...

Exploding stars known as supernovas may have sparked mass extinctions that wiped out up to 85% of animals on Earth.

"If a massive star were to explode as a supernova close to the Earth, the results would be devastating for life on Earth," said Nick Wright, an astrophysicist at Keele University in the United Kingdom ...

At least two mass extinction events in Earth's history were likely caused by the "devastating" effects of nearby supernova explosions, a new study suggests. Researchers at Keele University say these ...
