At cosmological scales, Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity has given scientists an immensely accurate blueprint ...

Black holes are already among the most mysterious objects in the galaxy, and yet, one specific type has almost completely ...

The search for dark matter requires all the best models, theories, and ideas we can throw at it. A new paper by Julia Monika ...

New research is shedding light on what researchers call "lite" intermediate-mass black holes, which are smaller, but still ...

Some of the rarest Baldur's Gate 3 achievements are incredibly easy, but even the hard ones aren't that complicated - what ...

A groundbreaking simulation reveals how neutron star mergers forge black holes, generate gamma-ray bursts, and scatter gold ...

Caltech simulations reveal what happens when black holes collide with neutron stars—violent cracking, intense shock waves, ...

The three examples the team highlighted in a new study describe supermassive black holes feasting on stars more than three times as massive as our own sun. The events, dubbed “extreme nuclear ...

A bomb from a black hole would probably be the most destructive weapon in the universe. Hypothetically, it could be created by wrapping one of these cosmic monsters in mirrors and waiting for it ...

Black holes generally come in two sizes: big and really big. As they are so dense, they are measured in terms of mass rather than size, and astronomers call these two groups of stellar mass black ...

A black hole bomb – an idea first proposed in 1969 – has now been realised in the lab as a toy model made from a rotating cylinder and magnetic coils. Studying the bomb could help us better ...

Located 5,000 light-years from Earth, this black hole is much closer than the supermassive one at the Milky Way’s center, which also lies in Sagittarius but about 27,000 light-years from us.
