Black holes form when an enormous mass collapses into an infinitesimal point known as a singularity. That compression creates ...
Past research about black hole births rarely included magnetic fields or the spins of the precursor stars. But considering ...
The deepest mysteries of the universe often begin with the biggest questions. Few are more puzzling than the birth of supermassive black holes. These giants, weighing millions to billions of times ...
In December 2019, an ordinary galaxy 300 million light-years from us in the constellation Virgo suddenly woke up. After decades of inactivity, the black hole at the galaxy's heart burst with light.
The center of the Milky Way twinkles in microwave radiation, seen in new data obtained by astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile. This study could help ...

Recently, physics professor Robert Scherrer crunched the numbers to figure out what would happen if a low-mass black hole ...
This illustration depicts two black holes colliding in space. The collision sends gravitational waves, ripples in the curvature of spacetime, radiating through space. These waves can be detected by ...
If a new proposal by physicists bears out, the recent detection of a record-setting neutrino could be the first evidence of elusive Hawking radiation. (Nanowerk News) The last gasp of a primordial ...
Some people may worry about being bitten by a snake or spider, but have you ever considered what would happen if a small ...
Supersonic shock waves are cone-shaped disturbances that result from an object moving faster than the speed of sound. If you ...
The simulations revealed that stronger magnetic fields create lighter, slower spinning black holes, while weaker fields allow heavier, faster spinning ones. This relationship suggests black holes ...
