"This tells us that the magnetized plasma swirling near the event horizon is far from static; it's dynamic and complex, pushing our theoretical models to the limit." When you purchase through links on ...

Exploring the BTZ black hole in (2+1)-dimensional gravity took me down a fascinating rabbit hole, connecting ideas I never expected—like black holes and topological phases in quantum matter! When I ...

"This is amongst the top 10 most massive black holes ever discovered, and quite possibly the most massive." About 5 billion light-years away from where you're sitting, in one of the most massive ...

With the promise of detecting primordial black holes formed at the dawn of time, NASA’s Roman Space Telescope is set to offer unprecedented insights into the universe’s earliest structures. The James ...

When scientists discovered an enormous black hole thousands of light-years from where it ought to be in space, they knew they had a cosmic oddity on their hands. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope showed a ...

Astronomers have detected the signal of a colossal black hole in deep space that likely formed when two already-large black holes crashed into each other billions of light-years away. The result is a ...

A team of astronomers has discovered a supermassive black hole that is 100 million times the mass of the sun. This impressive discovery was found using the powerful James Webb Space Telescope's (JWST) ...

Listen to more stories on the Noa app. To study the origins of our universe is to struggle with profound chicken-or-egg questions. We know the Big Bang happened. Cosmologists can see its afterglow in ...

An astrophysicist has made an ambitious proposal for how humanity could probe the extreme physics of black holes — by sending a spaceship no bigger than a paperclip to our nearest one. The spacecraft, ...

A proposed interstellar mission envisions sending a gram-scale nanocraft, propelled by a laser-driven lightsail to a nearby black hole, achieving approximately one-third the speed of light. Upon ...
