For just one-tenth of a second in May 2019, the universe delivered a signal that did not fit the usual script. LIGO and Virgo recorded a gravitational wave from GW190521, but unlike the familiar ...

Powerful bright blue cosmic explosions called Luminous Fast Blue Optical Transients could be caused when a black hole or ...

Dark matter is thought to make up most of the matter in the universe, but the only way it interacts with its surroundings is ...

Scientists have developed a new technique that could turn black hole collisions into cosmic detectors for dark matter, ...

"The key question now is, are these black holes telling us that our models of stellar evolution are wrong, or are they being made in another way?" When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

The most massive black holes in the universe detected by the ripples they make in spacetime were not born directly from collapsing stars, according to a new study. These cosmic giants instead build up ...

A pair of stars orbiting one another has been found near the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT). Credit; ESO Directed by: ...

New observations and simulations by a research team led by MPE show that a massive binary star near the center of our Galaxy ...

The Universe’s biggest black holes may not be born giants after all. Scientists analyzing gravitational-wave signals from dozens of black hole collisions found evidence that the heaviest black holes ...
