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

Supermassive black holes usually lurk unseen, but when an unlucky star drifts too close they ignite titanic outbursts ...

A geometric measurement of the distance to a nearby galaxy implies a larger mass for its central black hole than previously calculated, and a consequent increase for most other masses of such ...

The black hole is located 11.6 billion light-years from Earth when the cosmic microwave background (CMB), the leftover glow from the Big Bang, was much denser than it is now.

What they discovered was that the secret to these bright, energy emissions from the ENTs lay in black hole anatomy. As we know, black holes are able to grow thanks to their voracious consumption of ...

A new class of cosmic explosions — which emit more energy than any other brightness-changing event — may come from megastars getting shredded by supermassive black holes (illustrated).

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.

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.

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.

Step aside, classic blacks and timeless French manicures! This winter, nail fashion is embracing a vibrant and cozy palette ...

MADISON — An international team of astronomers has trained a neural network with millions of synthetic simulations and artificial intelligence (AI) to tease out new cosmic curiosities about ...
