The brutal star-destroying tidal disruption event is only the second ever seen in interacting galaxies. Astronomers have taken a detailed look at a rare and incredibly violent cosmic event ...

A black hole is more than just a region of space where nothing escapes. It can also become a powerful cosmic engine. When matter spirals inward, falling into its grasp, the black hole doesn't just ...

Black holes continue to grip our imagination. These cosmic powerhouses twist space and time so intensely that even light cannot escape once it crosses a certain boundary. Their defining edge—the ...

(via Sabine Hossenfelder) White holes are theoretical bodies in physics that are basically time-reversed black holes, meaning instead of permanently trapping matter inside themselves, they release it ...

A series of studies sheds light on the origins and characteristics of intermediate-mass black holes. In the world of black holes, there are generally three size categories: stellar-mass black ...

An artist's concept of a black hole orbited by a neutron star. Image: Caltech/R. Hurt (IPAC) When a black hole and a neutron star finally meet, the result is cosmic carnage—and now, thanks to ...

When black holes emerge out of hiding to feast on their prey and some type of matter is sucked into their celestial maw, they begin to glow brightly. The events, dubbed “extreme nuclear ...
