The black hole’s gravity, which exists in three dimensions, mathematically connects to the particles dancing above it, which exist in 2D.

The Andromeda galaxy, our Milky Way's closest neighbor, is the most distant object in the sky that you can see with your unaided eye.

New research suggests an unseen ‘mirror world’ of particles might be the key to solving a major puzzle in cosmology – the Hubble constant.

A unique new instrument, coupled with a powerful telescope and a little help from nature, enables scientists to peer into galactic nurseries

As astronomers look out at the distant cosmos, it’s only natural that they would also look inward, to the center of our own Milky Way.

The ambitious project aims to preserve humankind – and animal-kind, plant-kind and fungi-kind – in the event of a global crisis.

The more humanity tries to do more with data, the more it’s evident that the most urgent questions won’t get answered easily.

A team of German astronomers have discovered a strange new type of star covered in the by-product of helium burning.

A new study suggests the existence of a direct interaction between the elementary particles that make up the dark matter and ordinary matter

Researchers have confirmed that a possible microlensing event witnessed in 2011 was due to the presence of a rogue black hole.

Physicists looked at specific features of light to figure out the closest you can get to a black hole without having to prevent disaster.

Scientists found something unusual that releases a giant burst of energy 3 times an hour, and unlike anything astronomers have seen before.

In the chaos before the Big Bang cooled, a fraction of the quarks and gluons collided randomly to form short-lived "X" particles.

How many black holes are out there in the Universe? This is one of the most relevant and pressing questions in modern cosmology.

Researchers discovered the structures of proteins that may be responsible for the origins of life in the primordial soup of ancient Earth.

The Earth sits in a 1,000-light-year-wide void surrounded by thousands of young stars — but how did those stars form?

Evidence demonstrates a close connection between the fraction of organic matter buried in sediments and changes in supernovae occurrence.

Groundbreaking discoveries about gravitational waves, black holes, cosmic rays, neutrinos and other areas may soon become more frequent.

Astronomers spying on a stellar system located dozens of lightyears from Earth have, for the first time, observed a troubling fireworks show

Watch as eight stars skirt a black hole 1 million times the mass of the Sun in these supercomputer simulations.
