A team of computational astrophysicists has developed a simulation that explains the behavior of matter around black holes.

A flaring black hole whips up ultra-fast winds of more than 37,000 miles per SECOND, reveals new research. X-ray space ...

A detailed suite of simulations conducted by astrophysicists at the Flatiron Institute and their collaborators showed that magnetic fields can produce black holes with masses that were previously ...

What could force a supermassive black hole (SMBH) out of its host galaxy? They can have hundreds of millions, even billions ...

Using cutting-edge algorithms and exascale supercomputers, researchers have created the most realistic simulations yet of matter flowing into black holes. Building on decades of research, a group of c ...

NASA has visualized the cataclysm, which is thought to have caused a mysterious eruption of gamma rays captured by telescopes ...

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 ...

Astronomers are learning more about the origins of supermassive black holes after new data is revealed from a 20-year-long ...

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.

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 ...

The research also suggests that these massive stars transformed directly into black holes at the end of their lives without ...
