A record-breaking gravitational wave signal let scientists "listen" to a distant black hole merger and put Einstein's gravity ...

NASA may have uncovered a new truth about the universe after discovering over 100 million "dark bubbles" in the Solar System thanks to improved technology.

In my January 23, 2026, “The Universe” column, I wrote about some of the biggest bangs the universe has to offer: exploding stars, hiccupping magnetars, stellar disruptions and colliding black holes.

The earliest black holes in the universe may not have disappeared from Hawking radiation after all, new research hints.

Supermassive black hole binaries form naturally when galaxies merge, but scientists have only confidently observed a very few of these systems that are widely separated. Black hole binaries that ...

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

A distant black hole tore apart a star and then stayed active for years, emitting powerful energy that continues to grow.

"We are not just replacing the black hole with a dark object; we are proposing that the supermassive central object and the ...

Researchers at Oxford University and the Max Planck Institute for Gravitational Physics (Albert Einstein Institute) are ...

Sagittarius A* may be a dense dark matter core instead of a black hole, offering a new explanation for the Milky Way’s central gravity.

Previous observations of stars whipping around an unseen mass—especially a bright star called S2—have pointed to an object ...
