"The key result is that while many alternatives look very similar to the 'standard' black hole at today's image quality, the ...

An international collaboration of physicists including researchers at Washington University in St. Louis has made ...

What would a human see and feel while falling into a black hole? In this exclusive excerpt of his new book, "Facing Infinity, ...

The Big Bang theory has dominated our understanding of the universe’s origin for almost 100 years. It describes a moment when all of space, time, and energy were born from a single infinitely dense ...

On 14 January 2025, LIGO’s detectors in the US picked up the gravitational wave signal GW250114, caused by the collision of two black holes roughly 1.3 billion light-years away. This wasn’t the first ...

New observations of M87*, the first black hole ever imaged, revealed that the supermassive blackhole has experienced several magnetic flips in the last decade. Reading time 3 minutes In 2019, ...

In this handout photo provided by the National Science Foundation, the Event Horizon Telescope captures a black hole at the center of galaxy M87 in an image released on April 10, 2019. (Photo by ...

Set to dip his toe into the boxing world for the first time this weekend, Dana White has weighed in on the pro records of certain punchers. Ditching Noche UFC 3 for a massive outing at Allegiant ...

Discovery joins a list of the greatest hits of the LIGO detector, which ten years ago became the first to detect gravitational waves. The songs of the cosmos, now that we can finally hear them, might ...

Fragments of energy may be the fundamental building blocks of the universe. The theory combines the ideas of particles and waves into a concentration of energy that flows throughout space and time.

Scientists found the cosmic monster by peering through a halo of light called an " Einstein ring," which is a kind of gravitational lens. Lensing happens when a massive foreground object, such as a ...

Scientists have tapped into gravitational lensing and stellar dynamics to confirm the existence of a black hole with 36 billion solar masses. A bold new proposal envisions launching laser-propelled ...
