Very massive stars, over 100 times the mass of the sun, eject significant amounts of matter through powerful stellar winds before collapsing into black holes.

Astronomers working with the European Southern Observatory's (ESO) Very Large Telescope (VLT) have detected patterns showing ...

"Very massive stars are like the 'rock stars' of the universe — they are powerful, and they live fast and die young." ...

How astronomers used gravitational lensing, a space-time trick predicted by Einstein, to detect a black hole measuring 30 billion times the mass of the sun.

Predicted by Einstein and dismissed as undetectable, gravitational waves were finally heard in 2016. Now, with observatories ...

Gravitational waves stretch and squeeze the fabric of space and time itself. When space/time is squeezed, pulsar pulses ...

"We would need to consider the possibility that the source was created (or trapped as a primordial black hole) by a highly advanced technological civilization," Harvard's Avi Loeb writes.

Sagittarius A* has been seen by human eyes with an "image produced by a global research team called the Event Horizon ...

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

One of the most perplexing discoveries in modern astronomy has been finding supermassive black holes, some weighing billions ...

The supermassive black hole only reveals itself once every tens of thousands of years. It has gone rogue and is on a killing ...

A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge ...
