Among the events it can identify are tidal disruption events, where a star gets spaghettified by the enormous gravity of a ...

Like a scene out of a sci-fi movie, astronomers using NASA telescopes have found "Space Jaws." Lurking 600 million ...

Astronomers have caught a black hole far from the center of its galaxy ripping a star to shreds — offering for the first time ...

Black holes are the hungry monsters of the cosmos: enormously dense objects that can suck in any material which strays too close and then devour it. Now, astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope ...

Black holes are known for their voracious appetites, consuming everything — even light — that falls inside them with no hope ...

For example, the inside and outside of a black hole are decoupled by a boundary called the event horizon. Because black hole gravity is so strong, anything that takes place within the event ...

Astronomers have spotted around a dozen of these weird, rare blasts. Could they be signs of a special kind of black hole?

Astronomers gain a greater understanding of black hole singularity. Experimental evidence for a finite core could illuminate ...

There is much we don't know about black holes, like what matter looks like inside their event horizons.

What if everything we know—the stars, the galaxies, the expanding fabric of space-time—isn’t floating in a limitless void, but instead exists inside a black hole? It may sound like a work of ...
