"This was many times more energetic than any similar event and more than any known explosion powered by the collapse of a ...

Astronomers were puzzled by a black hole around 50 million times the mass of the sun with no stars, spotted by the James Webb ...

Physicists may soon witness a cosmic fireworks show: the explosive death of a primordial black hole. Once thought to be unimaginably rare, new research suggests there’s up to a 90% chance of catching ...

Physicists think we could see such an explosion in the next 10 years - and it would 'revolutionize physics and rewrite the history of the universe'. This artist’s concept takes a fanciful approach to ...

Black holes can lose mass and energy over time. They release Hawking radiation. The smaller they are, the more radiation they emit, so the hotter they get. The end scenario is the black holes ...

Stellar black holes form from the collapse of massive stars at the end of their lives, typically weighing 3 to 50 times the mass of the sun. When a star runs out of fuel, it explodes in a supernova, ...

Astronomers have observed the calamitous result of a star that picked the wrong dance partner. They have documented what appears to be a new type of supernova, as stellar explosions are known, that ...

How often do black holes explode? New research refines old calculations, hinting that black hole explosions may be a once-in-a-decade occurence. When you purchase through links on our site, we may ...

A new discovery about what happens when a supernova – an exploding star – and a black hole collide could change the way scientists understand the lives and deaths of stars. The finding was the first ...

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 ...

Astronomers have discovered a rogue intermediate mass black hole blasting out jets over 3,000 light-years from the heart of its home galaxy, where it would usually lurk. New research suggests that if ...
