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

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

The image of supermassive black hole Sagittarius A * was created using data from the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration.

These black holes are the most distant and stable objects we know. Using a technique called very long baseline interferometry ...

A new study lends support to the notion that JuMBOs (Jupiter-mass binary objects) discovered by the James Webb Space ...

Researchers used an AI model to create a new image of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way, with some concern from ...

Very massive stars (VMSs), which typically have masses about 100 times that of our own sun, are critical components in our understanding of the formation of important astronomical structures like ...

Black holes generally come in two sizes: big and really big. As they are so dense, they are measured in terms of mass rather than size, and astronomers call these two groups of stellar mass black ...

First observed in 1780 by French astronomer Pierre Méchain and added to the Messier Catalogue, the galaxy was initially thought to be a comet or a nebula. Its actual nature as a galaxy was only ...

The Milky Way has its own supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A*. How Big Is a Black Hole? Main sequence stars (like our Sun) make up about 90% of the stars in the sky.

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.
