Black holes are one of the most devastating objects in space, sucking up everything around them. But there’s another space ...

A general-relativistic visualization of a disk and jet around a black hole. Andrew J. S. Hamilton What lies beyond a black ...

A quasar 3. 4 billion light-years away is stirring hot gas across roughly 300,000 light-years, far beyond the galaxy that ...

Physicists may soon witness a cosmic fireworks show: the explosive death of a primordial black hole. Once thought to be unimaginably rare, new research suggests there’s up to a 90% chance of catching ...

In the realm of general relativity, black holes are well-known for their ability to trap light and matter by bending spacetime, creating a point of no return. While black holes have fascinated ...

These cosmic giants might one day propel our spacecraft, process unimaginable amounts of data, and even reveal advanced ...

A view of the central region of the Perseus galaxy cluster, one of the most massive objects in the universe, shows the ...

Some Type Ia supernovae may begin with an invisible intruder passing through a white dwarf. An international research team ...

Primordial black holes may occasionally pass through white dwarf stars and trigger enormous Type Ia supernova explosions. Researchers found that these events could explain chemical patterns seen in ...

On July 2, 2025, the China-led Einstein Probe (EP) space telescope detected an exceptionally bright X-ray source whose brightness varied rapidly during a routine sky survey. Its unusual signal ...

Before I read your question, I had never heard of a white hole. So, I scampered over to my friend Vivienne Baldassare to find out more. She’s an astrophysicist at Washington State University. She told ...

Voyager 2 has traveled farther than any spacecraft. It’s a little more than 12.4 billion miles (20 billion kilometers) away, just beyond the edge of our solar system. But Fudan University ...
