Discoveries keep pouring out of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST). Researchers observed an unusual cluster, which they dubbed the Infinity Galaxy. It appears to support a leading theory on how some supermassive black holes form.

Yale astronomer Pieter van Dokkum and a team of researchers have discovered an object in space they call the "Infinity" galaxy—two recently-collided galaxies that, together, look like the symbol for infinity.

But in the past two decades, new types of black holes have been seen and astronomers are beginning to understand how they form. Called supermassive black holes, they have been found at the center of pretty much every galaxy and are a hundred thousand to a billion times the mass of our sun.

Discover the intriguing concept that our universe might be contained within a black hole. This video explores the possibilities and implications of such a theory, delving into astrophysical concepts and the nature of black holes. Join us as we examine the ...

A new method to analyze gravitational-wave data could transform how we study some of the universe's most extreme events—black holes smashing into each other.

Scientists have made a terrifying discovery: two black holes are on a collision course, set to merge into a massive hole that’s more than 225 times the size of the sun. If that isn’t scary enough,

Though our solar system and the movement of its planets appear relatively sedate, there are many things that could upset the balance. Anything with enough mass that got close enough could disrupt planetary orbits.
