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 ...
A Milky Way collision with a supermassive black hole might be closer than we thought. Hidden deep in the Large Magellanic Cloud dwarf galaxy that orbits the Milky Way on an ever-closing loop ...
The bold question-askers at What If imagine the cosmic consequences of a collision between a black hole and a white hole.
Caltech simulations reveal what happens when black holes collide with neutron stars—violent cracking, intense shock waves, ...
A neutron star's final moments may spark violent starquakes, monster shock waves, and even a fleeting, never-before-seen object called a black hole pulsar.
A rare collision between two supermassive black holes (SMBH) appears to have sent the resulting merger speeding through the universe, making it one of the fastest-moving black holes we have ever seen.
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.
This means it is likely that the black holes have already collided and become one, but the light from the collision has yet to reach us. Tech. Entertainment. Science.
Could Mysterious Black Hole Burps Rewrite Physics?
A recent University graduate has collaborated with a veteran University professor to shed light upon an obscure subject: black holes.Under physics professor emeritus John Wheeler, Daniel Holz '92, a ...
The black hole, with an official name of 1ES 1927+654, is located in the distant constellation Draco. Astronomers have been monitoring the black hole for years, primarily since 2018 when the mass ...
