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

Mathematical quirks of our universe have led some cosmologists to wonder whether the cosmos was actually born in a black hole. Parallels in the physics of the universe and that of black holes have led ...

Scientists have spotted the brightest flare yet from a supermassive black hole that shines with the light of 10 trillion suns ...

A cosmic explosion known as GRB 250702B is by far the longest gamma-ray burst astronomers have ever seen—if it’s even one at ...

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 ...

The following is an extract from our Lost in Space-Time newsletter. Each month, we hand over the keyboard to a physicist or mathematician to tell you about fascinating ideas from their corner of the ...

The finale of Futurama Season 13, titled The White Hole, aired on September 15, 2025. The episode begins with Bender attempting a rooftop burglary before a glowing object appears in the sky, later ...

Physicists at the University of Massachusetts Amherst have made a bold prediction: there is a more than 90% probability that our telescopes could witness a black hole explode within the next 10 years.

Tiny red objects spotted by NASA's James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) are offering scientists new insights into the origins of galaxies in the universe—and may represent an entirely new class of ...
