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

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

A new census reveals that 35% of supermassive black holes are hidden behind dust, disrupting major galactic models.

For decades, scientists have believed there should be black holes that fall between two well-known types. On one end are ...

A stronomers have discovered a supermassive black hole that's shooting a giant energy beam directly at Earth. The cosmic juggernaut, which is about as massive as 700 million suns, is taking aim at ...

Earth’s closest black hole isn’t a black hole after all. Back in 2020, a mission led by the European Southern Observatory reported the discovery of a black hole close to Earth.

A black hole weighing around 1,022 grams would create a tunnel about 0.1 microns in radius – small enough to be invisible to ...

A group of researchers recently simulated the event horizon of a man-made black hole in a lab. The new analog could help us learn more about the elusive radiation that is believed to be emitted by ...

If Earth was (hypothetically) crushed into a black hole, it would be under an inch across. Today, many black holes form following the collapse of massive objects like stars, notably after violent ...

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

Study reveals that high-energy cosmic rays are born in magnetic fields during neutron star mergers, a prelude to black holes.
