Tokyo, Japan – A scientist from Tokyo Metropolitan University has solved the longstanding problem of a “dissonance” in gravitational waves emitted by a black hole. Using high precision ...

Physicists have built the first ever black hole bomb, a long-theorised phenomenon where energy is boosted by a black hole and trapped by surrounding mirrors until an explosion occurs. Thankfully ...

The black hole, called LID-568, was observed as it existed just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang — much too early in the history of the universe for it to have gotten that huge.

Forget one Big Bang — try many. A bold new theory pokes holes in the popular origin story, suggesting the universe evolves through a series of lightning-fast bursts, rewriting what we know about ...

This finding solidified the object's identity as a black hole, one that roams the galaxy alone, without a stellar partner. Located 5,000 light-years from Earth, it is significantly closer than the ...

After NASA exhibited its interest in its study recently, black holes have attracted the attention of astronomers once again. A black hole is neither black in colour nor is it a hole. It is far from ...
