Astronomers were puzzled by a black hole around 50 million times the mass of the sun with no stars, spotted by the James Webb ...

"The sheer amount of radiated energy from these bursts is so large that you can't power them with a core collapse stellar explosion — or any other type of normal stellar explosion." ...

WASHINGTON (Reuters) -Astronomers have observed the calamitous result of a star that picked the wrong dance partner. They have documented what appears to be a new type of supernova, as stellar ...

Stellar black holes are born from the collapse of massive stars at the end of their lives, weighing from 3 to 50 times the mass of the Sun. When a star exhausts its fuel, it explodes in a supernova, ...

A record-bright LFBOT exposes violent encounters between black holes and stars, helping astronomers understand extreme black ...

The star causing this flare is not yet fully devoured: "Like a fish only halfway down the whale's gullet." When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s how ...

A new discovery about what happens when a supernova – an exploding star – and a black hole collide could change the way scientists understand the lives and deaths of stars. The finding was the first ...

This artist's concept takes a fanciful approach to imagining small primordial black holes. In reality, such tiny black holes would have a difficult time forming the accretion disks that make them ...
