The physics surrounding black holes is just plain weird. A gravitational well so strong that not even light can escape can do some pretty strange things to normal matter. Over the decades, plenty of theories have been put forward about…

For years, physicists have been looking to prove that black holes are more complex than they seem. And a newly approved European space mission called LISA will help us with this hunt.

Einstein was right! Scientists found the first-ever evidence of "plunging regions" of spacetime where matter inexorably falls into black holes, as predicted by general relativity.

Experts have mixed opinions about us living inside a black hole. Continue reading to learn what they say.

More than a century later, the legendary theoretical physicist has been proven right

Black holes are intriguing astronomical objects that have a gravitational pull so strong that it prevents any object and even light from escaping. While black holes have been the topic of numerous astrophysical studies, their origins and…

Beyond the point of no return.

NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben speaks with astrophysicist Priyamvada Natarajan about the James Webb Space Telescope's recent discovery of two distant black holes colliding.

NASA has captured the “most distant” black hole merger ever – but you’ll need the eyes of an eagle to spot it.
