The center of the Milky Way twinkles in microwave radiation, seen in new data obtained by astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile. This study could help ...

Researchers at the Indian Institute of Astrophysics (IIA) have pieced together a key part of the galaxy evolution puzzle, ...

The deepest mysteries of the universe often begin with the biggest questions. Few are more puzzling than the birth of supermassive black holes. These giants, weighing millions to billions of times ...

Scientists have observed the moment a newly-formed Black hole was kicked through space in a world-first recording of “natal ...

If a new proposal by physicists bears out, the recent detection of a record-setting neutrino could be the first evidence of elusive Hawking radiation. (Nanowerk News) The last gasp of a primordial ...

Researchers have detected a gamma-ray burst outside of the Milky Way that's unlike any previously observed. There's no ...

Scientists may have finally uncovered the mystery behind ultra-high-energy cosmic rays — the most powerful particles known in the universe. A team from NTNU suggests that colossal winds from ...

Black holes are eaters of all things, even radiation. But what if their rapacious appetites had an unexpected side effect? A new study published in Physical Review Letters suggests that black holes ...

In the 1980s, Finnish astronomer Aimo Sillanpää noticed its repeating light pattern and proposed the idea of two black holes. Since then, researchers around the world have tracked the system, trying ...

One of the most epic cosmic explosions ever seen may have been caused by a black hole infiltrating a star and destroying it ...

The last gasp of a primordial black hole may be the source of the highest-energy “ghost particle” detected to date, a new MIT study proposes. In a paper appearing today in Physical Review Letters, MIT ...
