Astronomers have observed a supermassive black hole consuming a star outside a galaxy's center for the first time, challenging previous assumptions. The event, named "AT2024tvd," occurred 600 ...

Scientists have made the most accurate predictions yet of the elusive space-time disturbances caused when two black holes fly closely past each other. The new findings, published Wednesday (May 14 ...

Apr. 9, 2025 — Scientists have discovered key conditions needed for a stellar black hole to create plasma jets. Their findings show that when superheated gas material experiences a rapid ...

What if you could create a black hole bomb without leaving Earth? That’s exactly what a team of physicists from the University of Southampton, the University of Glasgow, and the Institute for ...

The Milky Way is often referred to as a medium-sized galaxy in the universe, with approximately 200 million stars and a massive black hole at its center, which recently started to shoot in all ...

A supermassive black hole lurking at the heart of a relatively close galaxy is firing off a rapid-fire slew of ultrafast gas "bullets" into the surrounding galaxy. This is the conclusion of an ...

However, NASA has stumbled upon another mind-blowing discovery - a massive roaming black hole lurking 600 million light-years away that is "like a scene out of a sci-fi movie". Astronomers using ...

Scientists have predicted enigmatic space-time disruptions that occur, when two black holes pass close to one another, with greater accuracy than before. Published in the journal Nature on ...

The Orion Nebula (M42) and Carina Nebula (NGC 3372) may reign supreme among star-forming regions in the Milky Way, but they pale in comparison to the Tarantula Nebula (NGC 2070). The Tarantula ...

Coddington’s Nebula is an obscure, fuzzy object discovered by the American astronomer Edwin Coddington (1870–1950) in 1898. The popular name for this object is a misnomer; it’s actually a ...

Dr Mogull explained the significance: While the physical process of two black holes interacting and scattering via gravity we’re studying is conceptually simple the level of mathematical and ...
