Gravitational wave astronomy has been one of the hottest new types of astronomy ever since the LIGO consortium officially detected the first gravitational wave (GW) back in 2016. Astronomers were excited about the number of new questions…

Studying theoretical, fast-spinning black holes is helping physicists understand more about the elusive black holes out in the universe.

The UK’s £200 billion dealmaking industry could be missing out on around £150 million of VAT rebates, according to analysis by Azets.

Public finance experts have sounded the alarm over the difficult funding situation for local authorities.

A new report from the Accounts Commission warns the funding gap for councils is only going to get worse

Treasury analysis suggests inheritance tax measure will raise hundreds of millions less than expected

Primordial black holes (PBHs) have recently received much attention in the physics community. One of the primary reasons is the potential link to dark matter. In effect, if PBHs can be proven to exist, there's a very good chance that they…

A NASA astrophysicist simulated what it would look like to fall into a black hole, according to Einstein's theory of general relativity.

The decision to go monochrome was probably a smart one, considering the candy-colored alternatives that seem to want to dazzle and comfort you.

The supermassive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way appears to have an 'exhaust vent' that helps to channel hot gas away to the outer regions of the black hole.

One longstanding mystery in astronomy is how supermassive black holes got so heavy so early. JWST has shown evidence that supermassive black holes were already active and feeding 13 billion years ago. These are quasars, and they're so…

The onset of solar maximum has resulted in severe geomagnetic storms, with the possibility of aurora borealis events this weekend as far south as the northern United States. Do not be alarmed if you see awesome displays of light over your…

NASA's Chandra X-ray space telescope has spotted the supermassive black hole at the heart of our galaxy erupting, proving even quiet black holes like Sagittarius A* need to vent sometimes.

Using the James Webb Space Telescope, astronomers have separated the light of a quasar from the light of its surrounding stars, providing insights into how the oldest black holes grew. Find out more about it in this article.

Some black hole pairs roll around each other in wobbly, egg-shaped orbits that could hold clues about their origins, gravitational wave measurements suggest.
