Ever wonder what happens when you fall into a black hole? Now, thanks to a new, immersive visualization produced on a NASA supercomputer, viewers can plunge into the event horizon, a black hole's point of no return.
Bright, starry spiral arms surround an active galactic center in a new NASA Hubble Space Telescope image of the galaxy NGC 4951. Located in the Virgo constellation, NGC 4951 is located roughly 50 million light-years away from Earth. It's…
Primordial black holes are hypothetical objects formed during the earliest moments of the universe. According to the models, they formed from micro-fluctuations in matter density and spacetime to become sand grain-sized mountain-massed…
Steven Hawking famously calculated that black holes should evaporate, converting into particles and energy over vast periods. But what if the evaporation process stops at the Planck scale? A new paper suggests that primordial black holes…
In the central Sahel, journalists and reporters have seen their working conditions deteriorate ever since the countries were taken over by military juntas, reports by international organisations marking World Press Freedom Day on Friday…
The European Aviation Safety Agency warned back in January that authorities had seen a 'sharp rise' in jamming in recent months, particularly over the Baltic states
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…
Supermassive black holes may create conditions akin to "cosmic intersections with failed traffic lights" that make collisions between smaller stellar-mass black holes inevitable.
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…
