Some 1.2 billion light-years from Earth, a massive event is unfolding on cosmic scales. There, not two, but three galaxies ...

When astronomers look deep into the early universe, the expectation is simple. You should see young galaxies still assembling ...

Astronomers have found three supermassive black holes on a collision course in a rare cosmic event, situated nearly 1.2 ...

Christopher Nolan’s Interstellar created a black hole that would later turn out to be fairly scientifically accurate.

QSO1. It lived just 700 million years after the Big Bang and already had a mass about 50 million times that of the Sun.

Nearly every galaxy has a supermassive black hole in its core. Whether the black hole forms first and then the galaxy around ...

Astronomers were puzzled by a black hole around 50 million times the mass of the sun with no stars, spotted by the James Webb ...

A fresh black hole merger detection has offered the clearest evidence yet for Einstein’s relativity and Hawking’s predictions. Scientists tracked the complete cosmic collision, confirming that black ...

Supermassive black holes may not be as massive as previously thought, according to a new discovery by scientists. Astronomers from the University of Southampton, working with colleagues from France, ...

Astronomers have seen spacetime itself wobble near a spinning black hole for the first time. The discovery, revealed during a star’s destruction, confirms a major prediction of Einstein’s theory of ...

It sounds like something from the plot of Interstellar, but this plan to beam precious data back to Earth—before it’s lost ...

Scanning through a catalog of over 2,700 energetic deep space explosions captured by NASA's Compton Gamma-Ray Observatory, James Paynter's task was to find a needle in a needle stack. The doctoral ...
