Gravitational waves stretch and squeeze the fabric of space and time itself. When space/time is squeezed, pulsar pulses ...

New images show a collision of two enormous black holes, and it's the most distant black hole merger ever detected. The collision happened just 740 million years after the big bang event that ...

Caltech simulations reveal what happens when black holes collide with neutron stars—violent cracking, intense shock waves, ...

Astronomers studying a distant galaxy cluster stumbled upon ancient radio signals that might hold clues to the formation of ...

In a recently published paper in Physical Review Letters, scientists propose a comprehensive theoretical framework indicating ...

But black holes aren't too limited by size or number. On average, a standard black hole is about three to ten times the size of our sun. As massive as "regular" black holes can get, supermassive ...

A new model suggests how gravitational waves created by the collision between black holes spread and interact within the fabric of space-time.

Black hole collisions could possibly send waves cresting through space-time These massive, violent mergers produce gravitational ripples that may dance like waves on the shore. By Briley Lewis ...

A new paper claims astronomers discovered an ultramassive black hole heavier than any other black hole we've ever measured.

Collisions Near the Event Horizon. When matter gets very close to a fast-spinning black hole, especially if it moves opposite to the black hole’s spin, strange things happen.

Astronomers have spotted a supermassive black hole ripping apart and devouring a star in colliding galaxies. It is only the second time a tidal disruption event has been seen in interacting galaxies.

A new census reveals that 35% of supermassive black holes are hidden behind dust, disrupting major galactic models.
