A star in a faraway galaxy is sending itself into a spiral of doom, repeatedly plunging through a disk of hot gas surrounding a black hole and releasing powerful bursts of X-rays in the process. Soon, ...

Astronomers at the University of Hawaii uncovered black hole events so packed with energy, they were the biggest explosions seen since the Big Bang.

One of the papers, published last year, describes the simulated results of quakes on the surface of neutron stars before they ...

A new simulation by researchers shows how a neutron star violently cracks seconds before vanishing into a black hole.

Scientists could turn to black holes for cheaper, natural alternatives to expensive facilities searching for dark matter.

By adapting mathematical techniques used in particle physics, researchers in Germany have developed an approach that could ...

New observations from NASA's James Webb Space Telescope have revealed that auroras on Jupiter are hundreds of times brighter ...

Black holes are points in space that are so dense they create deep gravity sinks. Beyond a certain region, not even light can escape the powerful tug of a black hole's gravity. And anything that ...
