A single particle cut through the Mediterranean in February 2023 carrying an almost absurd amount of energy. Detected deep ...

Scientists found exotic prime numbers may play a role in black hole physics, revealing a surprising connection between number theory and the extreme environments of the universe.

Scientists have uncovered the first robust evidence of a black hole and neutron star crashing together but orbiting in an ...

Despite significant scientific advancement over the last decades, the universe still finds new ways to surprise us. Every ...

Merging black holes and neutron stars have unusual oval orbits prior to colliding and merging, which challenge the laws of physics.

I talk about why things appear to be the color black. Then I talk about what color a black hole is and how they can appear different colors at different sizes?

The catalog of gravitational waves "heard" by LIGO, KAGRA and Virgo has doubled with detections of spacetime ripples.

Every new instrument needs its mysteries, and no discovery of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has been more surprising ...

Black holes are the most extreme objects in our universe - but could one actually destroy Earth? In this video, we explore the mind-bending science of black holes, from spaghettification to time ...

Astronomers have for the first time seen the birth of a magnetar—a highly magnetized, spinning neutron star—and confirmed that it's the power source behind some of the brightest exploding stars in the ...

The catastrophic collision of a black hole and a neutron star sent ripples across the universe. New analysis of those ripples could upend a major theory about how these extreme pairs form. When you ...

The results reveal that our universe is reverberating with cosmic collisions. Some of the waves stem from pairs of black ...
