An already gigantic hole in Earth’s natural force field has grown by nearly half the size of Europe in 10 years, according to a new study. The Earth is protected by the cosmic equivalent of cling film ...

APM 08279-5255 is a massive black hole (quasar) that contains about 140 trillion times the amount in all of Earth’s oceans ...

The JWST's MIRI detected a flare in Sagittarius A*, revealing for the first time in mid-infrared how an explosion occurs near ...

It may be possible for a swarm of ultralight nanocrafts—propelled by a laser and traveling at a third of the speed of light—to make it to a black hole within about a century. For a spacecraft like ...

"It's a remarkable demonstration of what gravitational waves can do." Astronomers have for the first time measured the speed and direction of a newborn black hole, thanks to gravitational waves ...

Astronomers have detected the signal of a colossal black hole in deep space that likely formed when two already-large black holes crashed into each other billions of light-years away. The result is a ...

When scientists discovered an enormous black hole thousands of light-years from where it ought to be in space, they knew they had a cosmic oddity on their hands. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope showed a ...

The burgeoning space industry may be posing a significant threat to our planet’s protective ozone layer. Recent studies have raised concerns that rocket launches could be creating a new hole in the ...

The younger black hole, the product of a cataclysmic cosmic event known as a black hole merger, was first spotted in 2019. Now, about 6 years later, a team of international researchers led by the ...

In a study published April 11 in The Astrophysical Journal, researchers reported that they'd spotted another promising IMBH candidate, dubbed HLX-1, which is located around 40,000 light-years from the ...

The X5.1-class eruption from sunspot AR4274 is this year's most powerful solar flare and Earth is in the firing line.
