Rather than relying on a cheek swab or a little blood, however, these cosmic DNA tests utilize tiny ripples in the fabric of ...

Twin jets erupt from a supermassive black hole in Draco, offering new insights into black hole activity and evolution.

Strange x-ray pulses hint at a surprisingly long-lived white dwarf orbiting precariously close to a supermassive black hole ...

A remarkable black hole, located 270 million light-years away in the Draco constellation, has become the center of ...

OK, that was a little click-baity, but then again, so was the announcement this week that a scientist had confirmed Hawking radiation with a lab-grown black hole. It sure got our attention ...

An illustration of a blue laser beam shooting out of a black hole and passing a binary star system (Image credit: NASA, ESA, Joseph Olmsted (STScI)) Black hole jets aren't just incredible features.

Gravitational wave observations have revolutionized our understanding of black holes, revealing crucial details about their masses and spins. These measurements, collected from binary black hole ...

A distant supermassive black hole, the mysterious 1ES 1927+654, emits X-ray pulses unlike anything previously recorded, which MIT astronomers hypothesize results from a cosmic balancing act.

For half a century, astrophysicists have been trying to solve the Black Hole Information Paradox—first explained by Stephen Hawking in 1976—which posits that black holes destroy information. That ...

The black hole in question is 1ES 1927+654 ... Current gravitational wave detectors such as the Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory (LIGO) aren't sensitive enough to spot such ...

Scientists have detected emanating from the nucleus of a galaxy relatively close to our Milky Way flashes of X-rays gradually ...
