The brutal star-destroying tidal disruption event is only the second ever seen in interacting galaxies.

Astronomers have caught a black hole far from the center of its home galaxy ripping a star to shreds — providing, for the first time, direct evidence of a rogue supermassive black hole in action.

Astronomers have discovered a black hole in deep space that ripped apart a star millions of light-years from Earth. The process, known as "spaghettification," saw the black hole create a blast of ...

The discovery was made possible by a collaboration between ground-based and space telescopes, including the Zwicky Transient Facility and Hubble.The black hole was found 2,600 light-years from the ...

It's far more massive than a garden-variety black hole, the type that's created when a dead star collapses in on itself. But it's also not nearly as big as the kind of supermassive black hole that ...

A black hole swallowing a neutron star has likely been detected for the first time, according to scientists. The Australian National University (ANU), which participated in the research ...

However, no one has ever been able to detect these black holes because the chances of them lining up with a large star are so slim. Black holes are the ultra-dense remains of exploded stars which ...

The hole has provided astronomers with a surprising glimpse into the end of the star-forming process. The European Space Agency's Herschel infrared space telescope has made an unexpected discovery ...

Astronomers have discovered a mysterious unknown object in our galaxy that could be a breakthrough in the study of black holes. The “extremely dense remnant of a collapsed star” lies about ...
