If confirmed, this disappearing act might provide the closest and best observational evidence for the birth of a black hole ...

Scientists scanning the heart of the Milky Way have spotted a tantalizing signal: a possible ultra-fast pulsar spinning every 8.19 milliseconds near Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at our ...

Webb telescope data confirm a supermassive black hole fleeing its galaxy, carving a 200,000 light-year wake of new stars.

A massive star 2.5 million light-years away simply vanished — and astronomers now know why. Instead of exploding in a supernova, it quietly collapsed into a black hole, shedding its outer layers in a ...

ESA's Gaia mission has discovered the closest and 2nd closest black holes to Earth found yet. In this animation, travel to latter, black hole Gaia BH2, and see what makes it unique. Credit: ...

Astronomers have witnessed a rare cosmic event: a massive star that didn’t explode in a spectacular supernova, but instead ...

You have our attention. The post The Object at the Core of the Milky Way Might Not Be a Black Hole at All, Scientists Say appeared first on Futurism.

Scientists say an ultra-powerful neutrino once thought impossible may be explained by an exotic black hole model involving a so-called “dark charge.” ...

A massive star in the nearby Andromeda galaxy has simply disappeared. Some astronomers believe that it's collapsed in on ...

Scientists have named newly detected merging supermassive black holes after ’Lord of the Rings’ locations, using gravitational wave data and quasar observations to map their mergers.

Recent observations suggest that 'runaway' black holes are tumbling through the cosmos. Building on decades of theory, the discovery adds a remarkable new chapter to the story of the universe.

Astronomers have watched a dying star fail to explode as a supernova, instead collapsing into a black hole. The remarkable sighting is the most complete observational record ever made of a star's ...
