Astronomers believe that at the heart of most, if not all, galaxies sits a titanic black hole with a mass that is millions or ...
Calculations by a gravitational wave hunter suggest that the early universe was more developed than what we can… Since the ...
Observational astronomy shows that newly discovered young stellar objects (YSOs) in the immediate vicinity of the ...
Scientists have discovered strong evidence that some massive stars end their existence with a whimper, not a bang, and sink into a black hole of their own making without the light and fury of a ...
If you were attacked by a ravenous vampire star or were at risk of falling into two dueling black holes, you'd probably run ...
Based on estimates of the black hole's mass, and that of the disrupted star, they were able to come up with an estimate for the black hole's spin -- less than 25 percent the speed of light.
Joint research led by Michiko Fujii of The University of Tokyo demonstrated a possible formation mechanism of ...
Researchers have discovered that elusive intermediate-mass black holes could form in dense star clusters containing anywhere ...
Distance: Roughly 1,560 light-years away, located in the constellation Ophiuchus. (For comparison, the nearest star to our Sun is only 4.24 light-years distant.) Detection Method: Gaia BH1 doesn't ...
Tiny 'supercharged' black holes born just after the Big Bang may have been brief companions to primordial black holes, dying ...
A new paper in Astroparticle Physics by Imre Bartos and Oscar Barrera from the Department of Physics at the University of ...
Astronomers at MIT, NASA, and elsewhere have a new way to measure how fast a black hole spins, by using the wobbly aftermath from its stellar feasting. The method takes advantage of a black hole ...
