Using a chain of atoms in single file to simulate the event horizon of a black hole, a team of physicists in 2022 observed the equivalent of what we call Hawking radiation – particles born from ...

New data from the James Webb Space Telescope may solve a riddle from the universe’s beginnings. A compact, distant object called “The Cliff” appears to show that many of the mysterious “little red ...

Supermassive black holes spiral towards each other in this simulation created by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center that shows how they glow in ultraviolet and X-ray light. The black holes are only 40 ...

A new article published in The Astrophysical Journal explores a new theory of how Type Ia supernovae, the powerful stellar explosions that astronomers use to measure distances across the universe, ...

Scientists use the Frontier supercomputer to reveal how black holes and magnetic fields keep galaxy clusters stable for billions of years.

To probe the mysteries of how galaxies evolve over time, scientists needed a supercomputer with out-of-this-world computational power.

The discovery that black hole growth may not be limited to galactic centers could shed light on the role supermassive black holes, with masses millions or billions of times that of the sun, play in ...

A century after astronomers first spotted the colossal jet blasting from the black hole at the heart of the galaxy M87, a new look has brought it into startling focus. Using infrared observations, ...

Astronomers detected a black hole displaced nearly a kiloparsec from the center of a dwarf galaxy 230 million light-years away. Unlike most, it is actively feeding and producing radio jets, making it ...
