These are rare occurrences—scientists estimate that the giant black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy gobbles a star ...

Supermassive black holes usually lurk unseen, but when an unlucky star drifts too close they ignite titanic outbursts ...

Researchers used an AI model to create a new image of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way, with some concern from experts.

Using the XMM-Newton telescope, astronomers have witnessed high-speed "burps" erupting from a distant overfeeding supermassive black hole.

A controversial theory suggests the observable universe is the result of matter rebounding after the collapse of a black hole in another parent universe.

These explosions, called extreme nuclear transients, shine for longer than typical supernovas and get 30 to 1,000 times as bright.

A groundbreaking simulation reveals how neutron star mergers forge black holes, generate gamma-ray bursts, and scatter gold across space—all modeled with extreme detail using one of the world’s ...
