Physicists have not yet watched a black hole literally blow itself apart, but they are closing in on the conditions where such an event might finally be seen. At the same time, telescopes are catching ...

"If our hypothesized dark charge is true, then we believe there could be a significant population of primordial black holes, which would be consistent with other astrophysical observations, and ...

The KM3NeT collaboration is a large research group involved in the operation of a neutrino telescope network in the deep ...

Black holes are born from the explosive deaths of stars. But can black holes themselves explode? Nobody knows for sure — but if they can, a team of scientists argue they may have spotted evidence of ...

It’s the greatest cosmic murder mystery of the year: How did a black hole destroy a star—and what kind of black hole is the culprit? Normally, so-called “gamma ray bursts,” sudden flashes of extremely ...

In 2023, scientists detected the gravitational waves from a black hole collision that seemed impossible. New research finally explains how this "forbidden" black hole came to be, and what it can teach ...

Astronomers report a supergiant star in the Andromeda Galaxy, M31-2014-DS1, collapsed directly into a black hole without a supernova, confirming predictions of failed stellar explosions.

The findings, published on February 12 in Science, are stirring excitement. For the first time, astronomers can trace step by step how some stars vanish into black holes, while others explode in ...

A neutrino slammed into Earth in 2023 with so much energy that it looked almost unreal. The particle carried about 220 peta–electron volts, or PeV, making it the most energetic neutrino ever reported.
