"The hunt for elusive intermediate-mass black holes continues," researcher Justin Read said.

A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge computing. Scientists have used a powerful neural network trained with ...

neither can explain what happens at the heart of black holes. (Left) the relatively quiet black hole at the heart of the ...

The scientists who precisely measure the position of Earth are in a bit of trouble. Their measurements are essential for the ...

A high-speed crash between two dwarf galaxies might explain a unique feature in space – and provide useful information on ...

Cosmic radiation occasionally contains enormous amounts of energy, but we don’t know why or where this radiation comes from.

I’ve spent much of my long life studying — and trying to understand — the history of the universe. Along the way, I have been constantly reminded that science is essentially international: Science ...

Astronomers at the University of Hawaii uncovered black hole events so packed with energy, they were the biggest explosions ...

LOFAR is a massive radio telescope that comprises 100,000 antennas spread across eight European countries. The researchers used it to study SpARCS1049, a galaxy cluster so far away that the light we ...

The colossal black hole lurking at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is spinning almost as fast as its maximum rotation rate.

Galaxies shine in a rainbow of emissions from gas, dust, and stars. Each of these building blocks emits light at specific wavelengths — fingerprints that reveal their age, motion, and chemical makeup.
