Black hole week reaches its conclusion today (May 10), and there's no better way to mark the occasion than with some "eggs-traordinary" black hole science. This research is more than a mere curiosity ...

A team of astronomers have found a pair of supermassive black holes near the center of a newly forming galaxy. The black holes were found hiding in the center of the galaxy merger known as UGC 4211.

Scientists have begun to unravel the origin story of a cataclysmic collision between two black holes, which seem to have met their fate on a rarely observed "squashed" orbital path. Subscribe to our ...

Researchers studying the aftermath of a gargantuan black hole collision may have confirmed a gravitational phenomenon predicted by Albert Einstein a century ago. According to new research published ...

When space telescopes blazed with high-energy radiation for hours earlier this year, astronomers suspected that they were witnessing something special. The cosmic flash GRB 250702B was no ...

The merger of two equal mass neutron stars is simulated using the 3-D code SNSPH. As the two stars merge, their outer edge ejects a spiral of neutron-rich material. The radioactivity in this ejected ...

The eccentricity in the orbits of these black holes, detected using gravitational waves, could tell the story of their creation. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...
