Black holes don’t just bend space and time. They also expose where our understanding of reality begins to break.  In this ...

Astronomers have long chased a hard question: how did black holes grow so huge so fast. Researchers at Maynooth University in ...

The James Webb Space Telescope snapped its sharpest image of the area around a black hole, solving a long-standing galactic ...

Black holes in the early Universe appear to have grown far faster than scientists once believed. Astronomers have long struggled to explain how black holes became enormous so early in the Universe’s ...

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 ...

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 ...

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.
