Black holes capture the imagination of scientists and space enthusiasts because they represent the most extreme gravitational ...
Researchers have created a fully relativistic model showing that gravitational waves might carry hidden clues about dark ...
Dusty stars close to the Milky Way’s black hole stay stable for years. New infrared data shows they survive gravity and ...
In the end, the Universe becomes a place where gravity and quantum physics slowly turn all mass into faint streams of particles.
A new study by researchers at the University of Amsterdam shows how gravitational waves from black holes can be used to ...
In a major leap forward, scientists, using the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), have captured the sharpest images yet of distant galactic centers. Using light at a frequency of 345 GHz, they’ve peered ...
When I was five years old, my family moved into a 1930s semi-detached house with a long strip of garden. At the end of the garden was a miniature orchard of eight apple trees the previous owners had ...
Why it's incredible: Evidence suggests it could be the greatest known impact crater on Earth. The Wilkes Land crater is a hole in the bedrock beneath East Antarctica's ice sheet measuring 315 miles ...
We are fascinated by the gravitational differences between other planets, but rarely do we recognize the gravitational variations upon our own. If Earth was a perfectly smooth sphere of equal density ...

You may have heard people say that aboard the International Space Station (ISS) there's "zero gravity," but in fact, gravity is still very much present. The station orbits Earth at an altitude of ...
