Astronomers at the University of Hawaii uncovered black hole events so packed with energy, they were the biggest explosions ...

Astronomers have discovered the first known triple black hole system within our Milky Way galaxy, about 8,000 light-years from Earth. This remarkable system, centered around V404 Cygni, consists ...

“ENTs are different beasts,” study lead author and astronomer Jason Hinkle explained in an accompanying statement. “Not only are ENTs far brighter than normal tidal disruption events, but they remain ...

While XRISM’s black hole observations are impressive, its study of the supernova remnant N132D, located in the Large Magellanic Cloud about 160,000 light-years away, is equally remarkable.

A new kind of stellar explosion, far brighter and longer-lasting than supernovae, may help scientists explore the secrets of ...

Some stars may transform into black holes without exploding into supernovae. Now, astronomers have finally spotted it as it happened. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

For the first time, physicists have observed a “black hole triple” in space.This new system is about 8,000 light years away from Earth and is made up of a central black hole that is in the act ...

In the stellar remnants of a supernova, however, there are no longer forces to oppose that gravity, ... If its mass collapses into an infinitely small point, a black hole is born.

Scientists have discovered the most powerful blasts of energy in the known universe. Dubbed extreme nuclear transients, or ...

Astronomers confirm ‘lite intermediate’ black holes, too large for ordinary stars, revealing clues about early stellar ...

Caltech simulations reveal what happens when black holes collide with neutron stars—violent cracking, intense shock waves, ...

The universe is a chaotic place filled with exploding stars, material falling into black holes, and rogue planets wandering off on their own. All that chaos makes astronomers suspicious when they ...
