Why they're black: Their gravitational pull is so extreme that even light can't escape Black holes are places where gravity is so powerful that nothing — not even light — can escape. Rather than being ...

A new solution to Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity suggests hypothetical gravitational stars that look like black holes could be nested within one another. When you purchase through ...

What do you get for staring into the abyss of a black hole for year? Insights into the fundamental workings of gravity. In 2019, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) made headlines with a monumental ...

Over a century ago, a German physicist named Karl Schwarzschild mathematically described what we now recognize as a black ...

Black hole singularities defy the laws of physics. New research presents a bold solution to this puzzle: Black holes may actually be a theoretical type of star called a 'gravastar,' filled with ...

A new discovery using the James Webb Telescope has implied we may live in a black hole. The telescope, launched by NASA three years ago, gives us the ability to take photographs of deep space with ...

One of my favorite celestial objects in the universe is the black hole. Granted, I'm an astrophysicist. But I know I'm not alone. People love black holes. They seem to hold a near-mythic status in ...

A team of scientists have suggested a possible solution to the famously tricky black hole information loss paradox, first proposed by Professor Stephen Hawking nearly 50 years ago. The rest of this ...
