In 1974, physicist Stephen Hawking described the potential for tiny, primordial black holes that existed at the dawn of time to explode — and reshaped what we knew about these cosmic behemoths.

In 2023, a subatomic particle called a neutrino crashed into Earth with such a high amount of energy that it should have been impossible. In fact, there are no known sources anywhere in the universe ...

Scientists say an ultra-powerful neutrino once thought impossible may be explained by an exotic black hole model involving a so-called “dark charge.” ...

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.

The KM3NeT collaboration is a large research group involved in the operation of a neutrino telescope network in the deep ...

A burst of X-rays from 8 billion years ago may be the first clear evidence of a white dwarf torn apart by a black hole.

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.

A distant quasar is defying two fundamental expectations of black hole physics. The object, known as ID830, is growing at 13 ...

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 ...

Metre Sky Survey (LoTSS-DR3) mapped 13.7 million radio sources, providing detailed data on supermassive black holes and rare cosmic phenomena.

A newly detected X-ray transient may reveal the first direct evidence of an intermediate-mass black hole consuming a white dwarf. A newly observed cosmic outburst is giving astronomers a rare glimpse ...

Since it turned on, the James Webb Space Telescope has revealed dozens of mysterious red blobs in space. The so-called Little ...
