One of the most perplexing discoveries in modern astronomy has been finding supermassive black holes, some weighing billions ...

Very massive stars are cosmic "rock stars" that live fast, die young and leave black holes in their place. During this ...

A controversial theory suggests the observable universe is the result of matter rebounding after the collapse of a black hole ...

A team of scientists has developed a new model for ‘very massive stars’ and their impact on the formation of black holes.

The "deaths" of galaxies are caused by their central supermassive black holes, and the "smoking gun" evidence of this connection takes an unexpected form.

Burdge calculated that the distant star was about 3,500 astronomical units (AU) from the black hole. To put that into perspective, one AU is the distance between the Earth and the Sun.. This means ...

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

For years, scientists have theorized that some black holes could actually be wormholes, and a new study shows that this space-time mimicry could in fact be possible.
