Remove the singularity and a wormhole appears in the center of a black hole -- but is it traversable?
Scientists are solving one of the biggest unsolved mysteries in galaxy evolution. Scientists have uncovered a new class of galaxies, called "red geysers," with supermassive black hole winds so hot and energetic that stars can't form.
It's about 660 million times as massive as our sun, and a cloud of gas circles it at about 1.1 million mph. This supermassive black hole sits at the center of a galaxy dubbed NGC 1332, which is 73 million light years from Earth.
Three colliding spiral galaxies 1.8 billion light years from Earth have produced a monster black hole weighing in at 3 billion times the mass of the Sun
Breakthrough chip for nano-manipulation of light paves way for next generation optical technologies and enables deeper understanding of black holes
Astronomers find a monster black hole 17 billion times more massive than the sun, raising suspicions supermassive black holes may be more common than first thought.
A newly deployed space telescope has struck pay dirt almost immediately, discovering a quasar - a superheated region of dust and gas around a black hole - that is releasing jets at least seventy times hotter than was thought possible.
Alien rays from outer space, which pass through our bodies every second of every day, have been traced to their source – a super-massive black hole that lies at the heart of our home galaxy, the Milky Way, German and Australian scientists have discovered.
Gravitational waves sent out from a pair of colliding black holes have been converted to sound waves, as heard in this animation.
Using a computer simulation, astronomers probe the ‘cosmic web’ of the universe, its honeycomb-like structure on the largest scales.
Scientists in the U.K. share a five-dimensional black hole simulation model that could ‘break’ the general relativity of Albert Einstein, the very foundation of modern physics.
The H-2A rocket flies into the sunset sky over the Tanegashima Space Center at 0845 GMT (3:45 a.m. EST; 5:45 p.m. local time
A Japanese space telescope with X-ray vision sharpened by Canadian technology heads into orbit on Friday. Canadian scientists believe it will help them solve longstanding mysteries about black holes and supernovas.
Black holes are not as black as we once thought. They are theorized to die a slow death by evaporation, emitting energy known as Hawking radiation. But the mechanism for evaporation is not well understood. Then again, no one has ever even directly detected a black hole.
Someone hug Interstellar’s science advisor. Just like in the film, a new study finds that a black hole with exactly the right temperature could serve as a cold sun and even support complex lifeforms.
