Why didn’t the big bang collapse in a giant black hole?
Despite the enormous densities, the early universe didn’t collapse into a black hole because, simply put, there was nothing to collapse into.
It’s relatively straightforward...
Pulsars help narrow the search for monster black holes
Scientists use a unique galaxy-sized detector composed of dead stars called pulsars to search for elusive pairs of supermassive black holes.
Scientists are unraveling the mysterious surroundings of black holes
New scientific tools are being built that will allow us to spy on black holes for much longer periods, even years before they merge.
Scientists detect twin black hole system in a distant galaxy
You've probably heard of black holes, right?

Dying stars’ cocoons could be new source of gravitational waves
Researchers suggest looking at an entirely unexplored place: The turbulent, energetic cocoons of debris that surround dying massive stars.
Stephen Hawking’s black hole theory gets a universal upgrade
Hawking suggested over a long, long time, black holes would eventually fade away or 'evaporate' due to something he called Hawking radiation.
Scientists reveal mysterious dashes in our Milky Way galaxy’s center
New radio telescope images reveal hundreds of filaments along the galactic plane, each measuring 5 to 10 light-years in length.
These structures likely originated a...
