Supermassive black holes create "cosmic intersections with failed traffic lights" making collisions between stellar-mass black holes unavoidable. Continue reading to learn more.
Supermassive black holes may create conditions akin to "cosmic intersections with failed traffic lights" that make collisions between smaller stellar-mass black holes inevitable.
The Milky Way has a missing pulsar problem in its core. Astronomers have tried to explain this for years. One of the more interesting ideas comes from a team of astronomers in Europe and invokes dark matter, neutron stars, and primordial…

Researchers utilizing the European Gaia spacecraft have discovered a black hole in a binary system, located 1,500 light-years away and weighing 33 times the mass...
A recent collaboration led by the University of Minnesota Twin Cities College of Science and Engineering and an international team has developed new technology to improve gravitational wave detection. This advancement allows for sending…

Researchers at the University of Minnesota Twin Cities College of Science and Engineering co-led a new study by an international team that will improve the detection of gravitational waves—ripples in space and time.
It’s difficult to actually visualise a universe that is changing. Things tend to happen at snails pace albeit with the odd exception. Take the formation of galaxies growing in the early universe. Their immense gravitational field would…
Black holes are fascinating cosmic entities characterized by gravitational pulls so intense that not even light can escape once it crosses into their event horizons....
London “So I watch you walk into a bar called The Black Dog and burn a new hole in my heart.'' like taylor swift “The Tortured Poets Club” While the album continues to break records, the song's vague reference to “The Black Dog” propelled…
European astronomers have investigated a recently detected black hole designated Gaia BH3. In their results, they found that the black hole is associated with a nearby disrupted star cluster known as ED-2. The finding is reported in a…
Physicists theorize that hypothetical micro black hole batteries could be the answer to our clean energy problem. Continue reading the article to learn more.
