Take a journey to 89 million light-years away from Earth to the NGC 7727 galaxy. It harbors the closest pair of supermassive ...

Core package to analyze gravitational-wave data, find signals, and study their parameters. This package was used in the first direct detection of gravitational waves (GW150914), and is used in the ...

SEE ALSO: NASA scientist viewed first Voyager images. What he saw gave him chills. Black holes themselves — so gravitationally powerful not even light can escape their grasp — produce no ...

WOODS HOLE — An unease has settled over this small-town community of scientists lately like the fog that crept across the upper Cape on a recent March morning. It’s difficult to see around the ...

Scientists have detected radio signals from hot gas surrounding a supermassive black hole that existed 12.9 billion years ago, according to new research published in Nature Astronomy from an ...

Primordial black holes are the earliest black holes thought to exist, and they vanished almost as fast as they came into being. As Stephen Hawking predicted, black holes don’t only draw ...

Could our galaxy actually be inside a black hole? New research seems to suggest this possibility. NASA's James Webb Telescope discovered that the rotation of the galaxies goes against what ...

Scientists at NASA revealed evidence that demonstrates that M87 contains a supermassive black hole located at its center. The 2.6-billion-Sun-mass void captured scientific interest in universal forces ...

For decades, black holes have fascinated scientists and sci-fi lovers alike. But now, some physicists believe they might be more than just cosmic vacuum cleaners—they could be gateways to other ...

The giant radio jets stretching more than 5 million light-years across and a supermassive black hole at the center of spiral galaxy J23453268−0449256, as imaged by the Giant Metrewave Radio ...

There is a supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy. There is also a lot of other stuff there as well. Young stars, gas, dust, and stellar-mass black holes. It's a happening place. It is ...

A team of scientists has developed a recipe for black holes that eliminates one of the most troubling aspects of physics: the central singularity, the point at which all our theories, laws and ...
