An international group of astronomers has created images with never-before-seen detail of a galaxy cluster with a black hole at its center, traveling at high…
Study offers evidence, based on gravitational waves, to show that the total area of a black hole’s event horizon can never decrease. There are certain…
New research shows how the fundamental law of conservation of charge could break down near a black hole. Singularities, such as those at the center…
Astronomers have discovered the smallest and most massive white dwarf ever seen. The smoldering cinder, which formed when two less massive white dwarfs merged, is…
New analysis by University of Chicago astronomer finds agreement with standard model in ongoing “Hubble tension.” Our universe is expanding, but our two main ways…
Scientists offer new theory to explain the origin of monsters of the cosmos. When astronomers use telescopes to look back in time—toward objects in the…
Astronomers studying stellar pairs uncover evidence that there could be many more Earth-sized planets than previously thought. Some exoplanet searches could be missing nearly half…
Mix pair is “elusive missing piece of the family picture of compact object mergers.” A long time ago, in two galaxies about 900 million light-years…
The long relationships between stars and the planets around them — including the Sun and the Earth — may be even more complex than previously…
A team led by astronomers at UC Santa Barbara have confirmed the existence of an elusive new type of supernova. A worldwide team led by…
