The object at the Milky Way’s center has long been treated as a settled case: a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A* ...
Astronomers have found growing evidence that runaway black holes are hurtling through galaxies at extreme speeds, leaving ...
If a pair of black holes coalesce into one, much of that vast energy can be released in a few seconds.
Supermassive black holes rarely travel alone. Most large galaxies hide one at the center, and when galaxies collide, the two ...
What if the Milky Way’s central “black hole” isn’t a black hole at all? A new model proposes that an ultra-dense dark matter core could mimic its gravitational pull.
In the nearby Andromeda Galaxy, a massive star bright enough to stand out for years has gone dark. Not in a blaze of glory.
NASA may have uncovered a new truth about the universe after discovering over 100 million "dark bubbles" in the Solar System thanks to improved technology.
Small black holes with the mass of a pyramid may exist within the solar system, and they could be exploding every decade, according to a new study by physicists at the University of Massachusetts ...
NASA’s NEOWISE archival data tracks a massive star in Andromeda fading quietly into a black hole, providing detailed observations of stellar collapse and gas expulsion from 2005 to 2023.
New fear unlocked: spontaneous black hole implosion. Fresh research predicts that planets may be able to accumulate enough dark matter to suddenly form a black hole at their core. As the intruder ...
Our Milky Way galaxy may not have a supermassive black hole at its center but rather an enormous clump of mysterious dark ...
Astronomers have found over 5,000 exoplanets, and now scientists think these distant worlds could unlock one of the universe’s greatest mysteries: dark matter. A new study suggests that Jupiter-like ...
