This simulation shows two black holes colliding near the speed of light, revealing the mysterious physics of what one astrophysicist calls “one of the most violent events you can imagine in the ...
This suggests that NGC 5084 is host to a supermassive black hole tipped on its side, and scientists think it could be evidence of a galactic collision in NGC 5084’s recent past. Sometimes being ...
A black hole merger between two partner black holes — with a combined mass of 150 suns but only as big as Lucknow — may have exploded in a flare of light for the first time ever.
This would provide plenty of cosmic gas on which a black hole could feast. "There's a stream of stars and gas connecting these two galaxies. That collision led gas to stream towards the ...
Astronomers have found evidence suggesting that supermassive black holes have played a pivotal role in shaping cosmic evolution since the universe's infancy. Astronomers have estimated one black ...
Gravitational waves are ripples that are sent across the Universe when the gravity in a certain point in space suddenly changes, caused by the collision of two black holes, for example.
For half a century, astrophysicists have been trying to solve the Black Hole Information Paradox—first explained by Stephen Hawking in 1976—which posits that black holes destroy information. That ...
