A Death Star is born. As if regular old star-gobbling black holes weren’t terrifying enough, scientists discovered that certain types swivel around and shoot beams at various objects in the ...

the stripping of a star wouldn't produce a bright flare we can detect. Certainly not for Sag A*, which is shrouded in gas and dust. But since the dense helium core remains close to the black hole, its ...

Now, researchers led by Los Alamos National Laboratory have proposed a bold new idea: that stars collapsing into black holes ...

Researchers have spent the past few years watching a black hole re-awaken roughly 300 million light-years away from Earth.

While it's much smaller than the largest supermassive black holes detected, it's still a whopper considering how early in the ...

Scientists have been left stunned after stumbling across a lone black hole drifting through space. It's not every day ...

However, no one has ever been able to detect these black holes because the chances of them lining up with a large star are so slim. Black holes are the ultra-dense remains of exploded stars which ...

In this environment, Mumpower’s team suggest that energetic photons in a jet collide with protons to create a neutron and a ...

Gas and dust ejected by a dying star at the heart of NGC 1514 came into ... and a network of clearer holes close to the central stars shows where faster material punched through.

What if a star gets close enough to a star to experience ... But since the dense helium core remains close to the black hole, its dying orbit could be detected through gravitational waves.
