Recent results suggest these exotic objects just might help us account for the mysterious force pushing the universe apart.

When we go backwards in time through the history of the cosmos, the distances and volumes shrink, while the average energy ...

In 1963, Roy Kerr, a New Zealand-based mathematician proposed a set of equations that explain the properties of rotating ...

Renowned astrophysicist Stephen Hawking made a remarkable discovery in 1974, about black holes and their boundaries called event horizons ...

Black holes continue to captivate scientists: they are purely gravitational objects, remarkably simple, yet capable of hiding mysteries that challenge our understanding of natural laws. Most ...

A 2022 image of our galaxy's central black hole taken with the Event Horizon Telescope could have some important inaccuracies, a new study claims.

The new research has shed light on the iconic black hole image. Black holes are the most mysterious objects in the universe which are actually regions of space-time where the curvature is so extreme ...

they can mimic the curvature of spacetime and observe how electrical signals behave in this curved system. This type of simulation allows them to test how gravity might work in extreme environments ...

This diagram shows how a shifting feature, called a corona, can create a flare of X-rays around a black hole. The corona (feature represented in purplish colors) gathers inward (left), becoming ...

Depicted in this artist’s rendering is the central black hole, V404 Cygni (black dot), in the process of consuming a nearby star (orange body at left), while a second star (upper white flash) orbits ...
