Why dress like a werewolf, a witch, or a vampire these days when there will always be something scarier in the Universe than anything else? Black holes easily qualify themselves for that description, although we haven't seen them in movies...
More than 700 quasars have been examined, using data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, the NFS's Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array, Germany's ROentgen SATellite (ROSAT), and ESA's XMM-Newton. Astronomers' main goal was to determine why those quasars - quickly...
As decades past, astronomers are more confident that black holes are indeed the most mysterious and weird cosmic objects in the Universe. For many years physicists and other scientists are wondering how could a black hole defy the laws of...
Perhaps the most valuable lesson that the Universe has taught us all is never to consider that we know all about it. Our physical reality extends for at least 96 billion light-years in diameter, and black holes represent by far...
Astronomers have known for a while that the expansion of the Universe is speeding up, but the physics of this expansion is still a mystery. Now, a team of scientists at the University of Hawai'i at Mānoa has come up...
Black holes are located at the core of almost all galaxies that have been analyzed until now. They have an incredibly large mass and hence, pull in matter, gas, and even light. However, they can also generate matter in the...
Black holes may harbor planets in their orbits, some of them even similar to Earth, which astronomers decided to name 'blanets.' As per new simulations carried out by a team of Japanese scientists, thousands of blanets could be hosted in...
Back in 2016, the LIGO (Laser Interferometer Gravitational-Wave Observatory) team discovered the first-ever gravitational waves, coming from a collision of two black holes that happened billions of years ago. Along with the puzzling finding came a little surprise: the black...
Although being known as a black hole, this cosmic object still manages to puzzle astronomers as an incredibly powerful light generated by it was recently observed. Not long ago, scientists were able to observe for the first time, a flare...
Scientists still have a lot to learn and discover about the mysterious celestial objects known as black holes. These cosmic bodies are known for absorbing everything as they form. Still, an old theory says that black holes have another purpose...
