Some black holes, bound by gravity, rotate around each other, as shown in this simulated image. Simulating eXtreme Spacetimes Lensing (SXS), CC BY-SA Black holes are regions of space where gravity is ...

The discovery could lead to the finding of more planets. Astrophysicists are marveling at the latest celestial discovery made near the Milky Way's supermassive black hole. Scientists have uncovered ...

In a groundbreaking discovery, astronomers from the Shanghai Astronomical Observatory (SHAO), part of the Chinese Academy of Sciences, have uncovered evidence suggesting that binary black holes might ...

What happens when a gargantuan cloud of gas swallows a pair of monster black holes with their own appetites? Feasting on the gas can cause some weird (heavenly) bodily functions. AT 2021hdr is a ...

Every galaxy has a supermassive black hole at its center, much like every egg has a yolk. But sometimes, hens lay eggs with two yolks. In a similar way, astrophysicists like us who study supermassive ...

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 ...

The supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy is associated with wanton destruction, but a recent discovery throws that assumption into question. A team of international ...

An international team of researchers has detected a binary star orbiting close to Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the centre of our galaxy. It is the first time a stellar pair has been ...

"Black holes are not as destructive as we thought. It seems plausible that the detection of planets in the galactic center is just a matter of time." When you purchase through links on our site, we ...

Astronomers discovered a 'black widow binary' -- a rapidly spinning neutron star circling and slowly consuming a smaller companion star. Named ZTF J1406+1222, the pair has the shortest orbital period ...

Marco Ajello receives funding from NASA and NSF. Jonathan Zrake receives funding from NASA and NSF. Black holes are regions of space where gravity is so strong that not even light can escape from ...
