In the world of astrophysics, Stephen Hawking’s predictions about black holes have always sparked fascination and debate.

Scientists have potentially solved the mystery behind LIGO's forbidden black hole pair, GW231123, through new computer simulations involving fast-spinning, magnetized stars.

Funding uncertainties are pushing U.S. space scientists out of the field and putting existing and future space missions on the chopping block.
