Mathematical quirks of our universe have led some cosmologists wonder whether the cosmos was actually born in a black hole.

Our world is vibrant and colorful, but seeing it in black and white can offer a new perspective. The striking images from the ...

Astronomers have discovered something that shouldn't exist: a galaxy so jam-packed with stars that they smash into each other about once a month.

Two cosmic mysteries—one a devourer of light, the other a theoretical fountain of matter—meet in an unprecedented event. Join ...

GW190814’s gravitational waves suggest a hidden supermassive black hole nearby. The finding reshapes how binary black holes may form. Binary black holes are already among the universe’s most ...

And that’s it. Black holes are said to have “no hair” — no features that distinguish them from their fellows with the same mass and spin. With new data, it has started to become possible to test this ...

WASHINGTON, Aug 14 (Reuters) - Astronomers have observed the calamitous result of a star that picked the wrong dance partner. They have documented what appears to be a new type of supernova, as ...

Astronomers have identified what could be a new supermassive black hole, and with an estimated mass 36 billion times that of the sun, it has about 10,000 times the mass of the black hole at the center ...

The incredible new find was only possible thanks to the gravitational lensing of the Cosmic Horseshoe. Credit: ESA/Hubble Last week, astronomers announced the discovery of an unimaginably large black ...

Researchers believe the 'ultramassive' black hole is big enough to be the largest of its kind ever detected. Black holes are regions of space where the pull of gravity is so intense that even light ...
