To reach audiences migrating online, producers must develop new financing and distribution models beyond traditional ...

First-ever image of two black holes captured orbiting each other, confirming a decades-old theory using a powerful radio ...

This black hole merger animation was created using data collected by the LIGO and Virgo gravitational wave detectors, an ...

Astronomers have found the most distant and energetic “odd radio circle” ever detected — a massive double-ringed radio structure nearly 10 billion years old. The discovery, made with the help of ...

By Kat Troche September 2025 marks ten years since the first direct detection of gravitational waves as predicted by Albert ...

Black holes are so strange that physicists have long wondered if they are quite what they seem. Now we are set to find out if ...

In a significant potential shift for astrophysics, it turns out that some quasars may weigh as little as half what was previously believed. Share on Facebook (opens in a new window) Share on X (opens ...

At the heart of nearly every galaxy lurks a cosmic giant: a supermassive black hole. These mysterious objects, millions to billions of times more massive than our Sun, exert such powerful gravity that ...

In a recent piece for my column The Universe, I wrote about the biggest black holes in the cosmos. These can tip the scales at many billions of times the sun’s mass, outweighing even entire galaxies.

The last gasp of a primordial black hole may be the source of the highest-energy "ghost particle" detected to date, a new MIT study proposes. In a paper appearing today in Physical Review Letters, MIT ...

Studying black holes is immensely difficult, but with gravitational wave detection, astrophysicists do have a way to directly analyze these mysterious objects. A new study details the “clearest ...
