NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben speaks with astrophysicist Priyamvada Natarajan about the James Webb Space Telescope's recent discovery of two distant black holes colliding.
Slovakia has long been dogged by criticism that it is prone to authoritarianism, but a frenzy of blame since an assassination attempt has heightened such concerns.
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.
