Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar dazzled with its realism - but there’s one glaring issue hiding in plain sight. While the ...

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

It’s the largest black hole jet we’ve discovered to date. What makes this particular jet so exciting for astronomers is not only its size. It’s also estimated to be 1.2 billion years old.

A neutron star's final moments may spark violent starquakes, monster shock waves, and even a fleeting, never-before-seen object called a black hole pulsar.

Black holes are invisible, yet they are among the brightest things in the universe. If a star wanders too close to a black hole, it gets torn apart in a fireworks show called a tidal disruption event.

Each of the supermassive black holes the researchers described lies at the center of a distant galaxy. And each were observed to have suddenly brightened for several months after shredding up a ...

A team of astronomers led by Michael Janssen (Radboud University, The Netherlands) has trained a neural network with millions of synthetic black hole data sets. Based on the network and data from ...

An artist's concept of a black hole orbited by a neutron star. Image: Caltech/R. Hurt (IPAC) When a black hole and a neutron star finally meet, the result is cosmic carnage—and now, thanks to ...

Across the cosmos, many stars can be found in pairs, gracefully circling one another. Yet one of the most dramatic pairings occurs between two orbiting black holes, formed after their massive ...

As we know, black holes are able to grow thanks to their voracious consumption of matter — a process called accretion. After looking at the massive energy budget of ENTs and their distinct appearance, ...

The findings suggest black holes could provide a cheaper, natural alternative to billion-dollar particle colliders, if we can figure out how to harness them.
