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

A possible new "jellyfish" galaxy discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope could deepen our understanding of galaxy ...

The image of supermassive black hole Sagittarius A * was created using data from the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration.

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

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

These are the 7 beautiful images of Galaxies captured by NASA ...

Astronomers used AI and high-throughput computing to analyse Event Horizon Telescope data on black holes. Sagittarius A* is spinning near top speed with its rotation axis pointing towards Earth ...

The black hole in question lies in the distant Seyfert galaxy PG1211+143, about 1.2 billion light years from Earth. Using the European Space Agency’s XMM-Newton X-ray Observatory, the University ...

A few, however, carry extreme energy: more than a million times what particle accelerators on Earth can produce. A new study suggests that those monsters are born in the churning magnetic fields of ...

The colossal black hole lurking at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is spinning almost as fast as its maximum rotation rate. That's just one thing astrophysicists have discovered after developing ...

An artist’s impression of a tidal disruption event, in which a star is spaghettified and the remains form an accretion disk around the black hole. Typically, about half the star’s mass is drawn into ...

Others warn it could be the start of more terrifying questions, if we are inside a black hole, what lies beyond it? Still, the study comes with a caveat: observational bias. The way light behaves in ...
