Astronomers have discovered the most distant and earliest blazar, an erupting supermassive black hole aiming its plasma jets ...

Could black holes have planets? New research says yes, they could. New simulations suggest massive planets could form in the ...

Astronomers estimate that about 40 quintillion stellar-mass black holes exist within the observable universe, a number written as 4 followed by 19 zeros. Together, these black holes may contain ...

A study has been published revealing a mechanism by which "jets" erupting from supermassive black holes at the centers of ...

New research suggests that black holes far from galaxy centers could preserve clues about their galaxies’ past.

This is the first confirmed case of a star that survived an encounter with a supermassive black hole and came back for more. This discovery upends conventional wisdom about such tidal disruption ...

Below the waves of the Mediterranean, Europe's KM3NeT neutrino telescope is on a cosmic hunt. Towering strings of sensors stretch a kilometer down to the seafloor, arranged in a vast 3D grid. The most ...

Rochester Institute of Technology professor Manuela Campanelli has been invited to talk about simulating supermassive black hole mergers at SC 2015, the international conference for high performance ...
