New research is shedding light on what researchers call "lite" intermediate-mass black holes, which are smaller, but still ...

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

"We would need to consider the possibility that the source was created (or trapped as a primordial black hole) by a highly ...

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

A NASA satellite that’s been orbiting as space junk since 1967, Relay 2, emitted an unexpected, powerful radio burst that ...

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

A supermassive black hole located 1.2 billion light-years away shows signs of intense activity. Observations reveal matter ...

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

For decades, scientists have believed there should be black holes that fall between two well-known types. On one end are stellar-mass black holes, formed by collapsing stars, with masses between 5 and ...

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

This discovery challenges some ideas about how matter organizes around black holes. Contrary to what some models predicted, the detected emissions wouldn't come from a matter jet, but rather from ...
