Astronomers have made a truly mind-boggling discovery using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST): a runaway black hole 10 ...

What could force a supermassive black hole (SMBH) out of its host galaxy? They can have hundreds of millions, even billions ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has provided evidence of 'monster stars' in the early universe, explaining the existence of ...

Indian mathematician Srinivasa Ramanujan’s formula for Pi can help with calculating black holes, studying percolation, or ...

For years, telescopes have been finding extremely energetic blue stellar explosions that could not be explained until now.

A detailed suite of simulations conducted by astrophysicists at the Flatiron Institute and their collaborators showed that magnetic fields can produce black holes with masses that were previously ...

NASA has visualized the cataclysm, which is thought to have caused a mysterious eruption of gamma rays captured by telescopes ...

The most extreme black hole collision ever recorded looked, at first, like it should not have happened at all. Two objects each weighing roughly as much as one hundred Suns crashed together in a ...

Most smaller galaxies may not have supermassive black holes in their centers, according to a recent study using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory. This contrasts with the common idea that nearly every ...

The phenomenon, known as luminous fast blue optical transients or LFBOTs, comes in the form of short, bright flashes of light ...

A team of computational astrophysicists has developed a simulation that explains the behavior of matter around black holes.

The discovery of strange, ultra-red objects—especially the extreme case known as The Cliff—has pushed astronomers to propose an entirely new type of cosmic structure: black hole stars. These exotic ...
