Stars in binaries with black holes usually suffer gruesome fates, but two systems discovered by Gaia hint at a survival ...
What if we told you that yourcat could be harboring a planet-killing black hole? Sounds like a sci-fi plot, but researchers ...
The team proposed that information and everything else wasn't destroyed with ... to the theory, black holes are far more timid - and we wouldn't even notice if Earth was swallowed by one.
Still, no primordial black hole has ever been observed. New research co-led by the University at Buffalo proposes thinking both big and small to confirm their existence, suggesting that their ...
Researchers studying the phenomenon observed a stellar debris disc around the black hole that appeared when the passing star was destroyed. The debris was heated up to millions of degrees ...
Astronomers have, for the first time, captured the moment the gravity of a supermassive black hole ripped apart a star that drifted too close to causing a fast-moving jet of cosmic material and energy ...
The study calculated how large a hollow planetoid could be without collapsing in on itself, and the likelihood of a primordial black hole passing through an object on Earth. (If you're worried ...
Astronomers have a new candidate in their search for the nearest black hole to Earth. It's about 1,000 light-years away, or roughly 9.5 thousand, million, million km, in the Constellation Telescopium.
As in real estate, it is all about location, location, location. The effects of a jet produced by an active black hole depend very much on how close we are to the black hole and its size.
This is the gargantuan black hole that lives at the centre of our galaxy ... At a distance of 26,000 light-years from Earth, Sagittarius A*, or Sgr A* for short, is a tiny pinprick on the sky.
