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

"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in ...

The team of Sally Hayes and Pam Miller took first in the first flight of the Butte Creek Women’s Golf Club 36-hole Chapman ...

The scientists who precisely measure the position of Earth are in a bit of trouble. Their measurements are essential for the ...

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists spotted thin and thick disks in galaxies as far back as 10 billion years ago ...

A groundbreaking simulation reveals how neutron star mergers forge black holes, generate gamma-ray bursts, and scatter gold ...

Astronomers have observed two distant galaxies that are heavily distorted. This spectacular image is caused by the presence ...

There are objects in our universe so dense that not even light escapes through them. These oddities, known as supermassive black holes, can weigh billions of times more than our sun. Scientists have ...

Black holes are invisible, yet they are among the brightest things in the universe. If a star wanders too close to a black hole, it gets torn apart in a fireworks show called a tidal disruption ...

There are a few key differences, however: First, a tidal disruption event occurs in the center of a galaxy, where supermassive black holes lurk, whereas supernovae can occur anywhere.

Aesop Rock, Black Hole Superette (Rhymesayers) Aesop Rock has been making what was once considered “experimental” hip hop for so long now that all that’s left from album to album is pure outcome, ...

Comparisons between black holes and the cosmology of our universe make some sense —after all, both contain singularities of a sort and horizons beyond which we can’t hope to glimpse.
