An artist's illustration shows a rapidly feeding black hole that is emitting powerful gas outflows. Using data from NASA's JWST and Chandra X-ray Observatory, a team of U.S. National Science ...

Primordial black holes may be exploding throughout the universe. If we can catch them in the act, it could pave the way to new physics, a study suggests. When you purchase through links on our ...

Core package to analyze gravitational-wave data, find signals, and study their parameters. This package was used in the first direct detection of gravitational waves (GW150914), and is used in the ...

An icon in the shape of a lightning bolt. Impact Link I grew up in the tri-state area, spent some years in Texas, and then moved back to the East Coast to start my life in New York City. That was ...

But newer theories have put a spin on the whole thing. As for the current state of research, some scientists doubt that Planet Nine is a planet at all: it could be a primordial black hole, and the ...

Scientists have reported that the ozone hole over Earth's southern pole spans nearly 20 million square kilometers this year, almost three times the size of the contiguous United States, while ...

Quasars — blazingly bright galactic cores — owe their brilliance to the intense heat that results as gas whirls around a big black hole. The black hole powering a quasar 13 billion light-years ...

Each galaxy seen in this image is therefore producing many black holes, which are converting matter into dark energy according to the cosmologically coupled black hole hypothesis. This image shows the ...

Astronomers have stumbled upon something truly remarkable: a black hole that’s not just part of a binary system, but part of a trio. This unusual system includes a black hole and two stars — one ...

It depicts a black hole as a maelstrom in spacetime, characterized by two horizons: an outer one, beyond which nothing can escape its gravitational pull, and an inner one that encloses a ring ...

Astronomers have witnessed the titanic collision between two neutron stars that resulted in the birth of the smallest black hole ever seen and forged precious metals like gold, silver, and uranium.

The review was launched in the wake of July’s “Fixing the foundations” document, in which chancellor Rachel Reeves claimed to uncovered a “£22bn black hole” in the public finances.
