Researchers have developed a method to detect the first stars of the universe by observing the unique flares produced when these stars are torn apart...
Black hole singularities defy the laws of physics. New research presents a bold solution to this puzzle: Black holes may actually be a theoretical type of star called a 'gravastar,' filled with universe-expanding dark energy.
Some Supermassive Black Holes (SMBHs) consume vast quantities of gas and dust, triggering brilliant light shows that can outshine an entire galaxy. But others are much more sedate, emitting faint but steady light from their home in the…
By the end of this year, 33 of the UK's parliamentary constituencies will be without a single bank branch - including both Sedgefield in County Durham and Erith and Thamesmead in London.
A team of astrophysicists from the University of Oxford, Newcastle University and the Institute of Astronomy, all in the U.K., working with a colleague from the University of Virginia, in the U.S., has found evidence showing that Albert…
In a speech, Jeremy Hunt hailed the upturn in the economy and said he was keen to 'go further' on trimming national insurance if it was possible to do so responsibly.
Scientists have managed to capture the first known instance of black holes smashing in to each other through a $10 billion piece of kit that 'travels through time'.
Einstein's general theory of relativity predicted that so-called 'plunging regions' around black holes would accelerate matter into them at the speed of light. Now, X-ray observations of a remote black hole have proved him right.
A long time ago, in two galaxies far, far away, two massive black holes merged. This happened when the Universe was only 740 million years old. A team of astronomers used JWST to study this event, the most distant (and earliest) detection…
The merging black holes were detected just around 13 billion light-years away. Read to learn more. With the help of the powerful James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers were able to find the most distant duo of merging black holes…
