NASA scientists have just observed something massive and unsettling — a 75,000-mile-wide coronal hole has opened up in the Sun. GOP senator hits Trump tax bill, says there are 'enough ...
Researchers have finally confirmed that black holes spin. By watching the radio jet of the black hole at the center of the galaxy Messier 87, researchers were able to watch it tilt, a movement ...

Supermassive black holes are behemoths that weigh in at several million to billion times the mass of our own sun. Like their smaller counterparts, their concentrated mass so deforms the fabric of ...
It is widely believed that every galaxy harbors a supermassive black hole at its center—objects with masses millions of times that of the sun. Over cosmic time, these black holes and their host ...
It is about 10 14 times more luminous than the Sun, making it one of the brightest known astronomical sources in the Universe. The quasar is powered by a supermassive black hole that is estimated ...
At least, that’s the conclusion of an international team of researchers that applied geometric structures inspired by particle physics and string theory to the behavior of black holes when the ...
A new study achieves unprecedented accuracy in modelling extreme cosmic events like black hole and neutron star collisions by calculating the fifth post-Minkowskian (5PM) order, crucial for ...
A prediction of the gravitational waves produced by interacting black holes achieves high precision and demonstrates the link between general relativity and geometry. Read the paper: Emergence of ...
Zwicky Transient Facility spotted it. NASA's Hubble and Chandra telescopes confirmed it. The black hole, a million times the Sun's mass, tore the star apart. A mysterious black hole, 600 million light ...
