A team of scientists has developed a new model for ‘very massive stars’ and their impact on the formation of black holes.

Astronomers working with the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) have detected patterns showing ...

Some physicists think our reality is a kind of cosmic hologram, with space, time, and gravity as manifestations of a ...

Very massive stars are cosmic "rock stars" that live fast, die young and leave black holes in their place. During this ...

How astronomers used gravitational lensing, a space-time trick predicted by Einstein, to detect a black hole measuring 30 billion times the mass of the sun.

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

These black holes are the most distant and stable objects we know. Using a technique called very long baseline interferometry ...

Astronomers in Australia picked up a strange radio signal in June 2024 — one near our planet and so powerful that, for a ...

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

How does the camera on the James Webb Space Telescope work and see so far out? – Kieran G., age 12, Minnesota Imagine a camera so powerful it can see light from galaxies that formed more than 13 ...

Astronomers detect 10 billion-year-old radio waves from a distant galaxy cluster SpARCS1049, revealing a mini-halo that ...

A newly discovered radio halo, 10 billion light-years away, reveals that galaxy clusters in the early universe were already steeped in high-energy particles. The finding hints at ancient black hole ...
