Einstein’s relativity tested by giant star and monster black hole
A giant star near the center of our galaxy hints, once again, that Albert Einstein was correct about gravity. A group of astronomers in Germany and the Czech Republic observed...

Astronomers have spotted a mystery object that they say could be a black hole or a neutron star. Both black holes and neutron stars are the remains of dead stars....
Close encounters with medium-size black holes can reanimate dead stars, if only momentarily, a new study suggests. A team of astronomers performed computer simulations to determine what happens when a...
There’s a lot we still don’t know about black holes, but these light-gobbling behemoths would be even more mysterious if Stephen Hawking hadn’t plumbed their inky depths. For starters, the...
Astronomers studying the motions of galaxies and the character of the cosmic microwave background radiation came to realize in the last century that most of the matter in the universe...
There is no doubt anymore – they are out there and they are huge! For the first time ever, astronomers can confirm the existence of orbiting supermassive black holes. Having...
New research by Harvard astronomers Peter Williams and Edo Berger shows that the radio emission believed to be an afterglow actually originated from a distant galaxy’s core and was unassociated...

In modern science, the prevailing opinion supposes that whatever falls into a black hole disappears forever and breaks apart into the component parts. However, a new theory states that black...
— Astronomers watch as Nasa telescope captures rare event — Phenomenon only occurs once every 100million years Stunning: This illustration shows plasma shooting out of the black hole after it...
