NEW YORK -- A star was shredded apart by a black hole and a scientist's keen observation set off a chain of events that allowed the phenomenon to be captured on several different satellite cameras.

In an unprecedented astronomical event, scientists have identified the most luminous black hole flare ever recorded, emitting ...

Astronomers caught a rogue black hole tearing apart a star 2,600 light-years from its galaxy’s center — a first-of-its-kind cosmic event.

New simulations suggest magnetic fields hold the key to forming black holes that defy known mass limits. When powerful ...

The JWST's MIRI detected a flare in Sagittarius A*, revealing for the first time in mid-infrared how an explosion occurs near ...

Simply put, a black hole is a region of space-time where gravity is so strong that nothing can escape from it. This includes light, which travels at the cosmic speed limit of 186,000 miles per second.

Cosmologists have traced the Big Bang’s earliest moments with great care, from the explosive inflation that set spacetime in ...
