Astronomers have made a truly mind-boggling discovery using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST): a runaway black hole 10 ...

What could force a supermassive black hole (SMBH) out of its host galaxy? They can have hundreds of millions, even billions ...

The James Webb Space Telescope has provided evidence of 'monster stars' in the early universe, explaining the existence of ...

Ramanujan’s insights into pi are now guiding scientists toward a deeper understanding of how the universe works.

For years, telescopes have been finding extremely energetic blue stellar explosions that could not be explained until now.

A detailed suite of simulations conducted by astrophysicists at the Flatiron Institute and their collaborators showed that magnetic fields can produce black holes with masses that were previously ...

James Webb telescope data confirms the first known runaway supermassive black hole, revealing how it escaped its host galaxy, how scientists tracked it and what its discovery means for galaxy ...

Among the more puzzling cosmic phenomena discovered over the past few decades are brief and very bright flashes of blue and ...

The phenomenon, known as luminous fast blue optical transients or LFBOTs, comes in the form of short, bright flashes of light ...

The most extreme black hole collision ever recorded looked, at first, like it should not have happened at all. Two objects each weighing roughly as much as one hundred Suns crashed together in a ...

A team of computational astrophysicists has developed a simulation that explains the behavior of matter around black holes.

The discovery of strange, ultra-red objects—especially the extreme case known as The Cliff—has pushed astronomers to propose an entirely new type of cosmic structure: black hole stars. These exotic ...
