When people think of black holes, they imagine something dramatic: a star exploding in space, collapsing in on itself, and ...

Intriguingly, ultralight dark matter might be able to turn into photons (light) — and it's through this process that the research team hopes to eradicate molecular hydrogen and allow gas clouds to ...

Supermassive black holes are behemoths that weigh in at several million to billion times the mass of our own sun. Like their ...

Astronomers searching for massive black holes shredding stars found one in an unusual place -- 2,600 light years from the core of a galaxy. The roque black hole may be from an earlier merger with ...

An international team of astronomers has successfully demonstrated a new technique to observe especially faint black holes by ...

A new paper proposed by the researchers has said that dark matter may have contributed to the formation of giant black holes in the early universe. Gigantic black holes that also appeared in the ...

An experimental setup mimics a “black hole bomb” first theorized in 1971. The spinning cylinder with circuitry is true to the ...

Astronomers have observed two distant galaxies - both possessing roughly as many stars as our Milky Way - careening toward ...

Using NASA 's Hubble Space Telescope and other observatories, astronomers found the cosmic object in an unexpected place.

Apr. 9, 2025 — Scientists have discovered key conditions needed for a stellar black hole to create plasma jets. Their findings show that when superheated gas material experiences a rapid ...

"The creation of heavy elements such as uranium and plutonium necessitates extreme conditions," said physicist Matthew ...
