Very massive stars are cosmic "rock stars" that live fast, die young and leave black holes in their place. During this ...

The international team, known as the "black hole police," searched nearly 1,000 massive stars in the spectacular Tarantula Nebula (pictured) in the constellation of Dorado.

To find the black hole, which can’t be observed directly, the astronomers looked at 1,000 massive stars (each weighing at least eight times the mass of the sun) in the Tarantula Nebula region of ...

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.

The black hole in VFTS 243 was found using six years of observations of the Tarantula Nebula by the Fibre Large Array Multi Element Spectrograph ([FLAMES] -- ) instrument on ESO's[ VLT] [3].

Astronomers have found a new kind of "quiet" black hole that gives off faint X-ray radiation and was ... About 160,000 light-years from the Milky Way in the Tarantula Nebula region of the ...

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

A black hole is a region of spacetime where gravity is so intense that nothing, no matter how much energy it has, can escape.Inside the event horizon, gravity supersedes all other forces of nature.

The James Webb Space Telescope has shown that the Milky Way’s black hole is constantly blazing with light, releasing long flares as well as short flashes every day.
