Ten years after "Interstellar" hit theaters, NASA is now giving us a more personal experience of what would happen if we were ...

Jets blasting from supermassive black holes cause gas to cool and fall toward that cosmic titan in a cosmic feeding process.

A small black hole would plunge straight into the event horizon, while a normal star would quickly be torn apart by tidal forces. But astronomers theorize that a low-mass white dwarf, a compact ...

Astronomers are very familiar with the twin jets launched from the poles of supermassive black holes. These structures can ...

New research shows black holes can trigger gas cooling, creating fuel for their own feeding. This process keeps them growing ...

Two black holes “locked in a death spiral,” he writes, “launched a tsunami of tortured space-time” — gravitational waves that reverberated across the cosmos and, notably in 2015 ...

As far as supermassive black holes go, the one at the center of the Milky Way is relatively sedate. But, even in its supposed quiescent state, Sagittarius A* is prone to the occasional belch or ...

By unleashing powerful jets, or outbursts, the black holes kickstart a process to cool hot gas and form warm filaments that allow for the – let's say – now-edible gas to flow back into the ...

If Earth was (hypothetically) crushed into a black hole, it would be under an inch ... But it likely won't fall in. An artist's rendering of a white dwarf star speeding around the black hole ...

NASA created a haunting audio clip of sound waves rippling out of a supermassive black hole, located 250 million light-years ... like many of the waves recorded from space and transposed into audio ...

At the vicinity of a black hole's event horizon, one particle will fall into the black hole (and apparently cannot escape), while the other one outside the hole can escape to infinity and become ...

A subsample of little red dots that researchers examined in more detail showed light signatures that indicate hot gasses spiraling down into a growing black hole. That could mean the little red ...
