We go in depth on black holes: the strangest objects in the universe! Black holes are not just the strangest objects in the universe, they're the sharpest test we have of how reality actually works.

University of Oregon astronomer Yvette Cendes made a surprising discovery years after a black hole shredded a star. What is ...

The center of the Milky Way twinkles in microwave radiation, seen in new data obtained by astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile. This study could help ...

One of the most notable aspects about our planet—if observed from the outside—is that it spins. Earth’s spin defines our days, setting the fundamental rhythm of life on our world. The moon spins, too.

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.

A comprehensive set of simulations by Flatiron Institute astrophysicists and their colleagues revealed that magnetic fields are responsible for creating black holes with masses in a range previously ...

The black hole was bigger than expected, and while the answer was hiding in plain sight, it still rewrites what we thought was possible. Reading time 4 minutes When LIGO broke news of an ...

A single particle cut through the Mediterranean in February 2023 carrying an almost absurd amount of energy. Detected deep off the coast of Sicily by the KM3NeT/ARCA neutrino telescope, the neutrino ...

If a new proposal by physicists bears out, the recent detection of a record-setting neutrino could be the first evidence of elusive Hawking radiation. (Nanowerk News) The last gasp of a primordial ...

Scientists may have finally uncovered the mystery behind ultra-high-energy cosmic rays — the most powerful particles known in the universe. A team from NTNU suggests that colossal winds from ...

Hawking radiation is slowly erasing black holes over unimaginable timescales. This video explains the physics behind virtual particles at the event horizon, the fate of primordial black holes, and the ...
