The most incomprehensible thing about the universe is that it is comprehensible,” Albert Einstein once pondered. But even as ...

A new study has been accepted by the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics that proposes two new models of black ...

A new quantum recipe for black holes could be the first step toward a theory of "quantum gravity", the "holy grail" of ...

A team of scientists is proposing a bold alternative to the Big Bang theory, suggesting that our universe may have formed ...

These elusive objects, called intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs), are thought to weigh between 100 and 100,000 times the mass of the sun. They could be the missing link in understanding how ...

Supermassive black holes are some of the densest objects found within our universe. These cosmic objects are so heavy that they often weigh billions of times more than our sun, and they’re so ...

Astronomers used AI and high-throughput computing to analyse Event Horizon Telescope data on black holes. Sagittarius A* is spinning near top speed with its rotation axis pointing towards Earth ...

Each jet was observed emerging from an actively feeding supermassive black hole, known as a quasar. The two black holes are located around 11.6 billion and 11.7 billion light-years away. The two ...

An artist’s impression of a tidal disruption event, in which a star is spaghettified and the remains form an accretion disk around the black hole. Typically, about half the star’s mass is drawn into ...

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 ...
