Each week as part of SunLit — The Sun’s literature section — we feature staff recommendations from book stores across Colorado. This week, the staff from Poor Richard’s Books in Colorado Springs ...

Every galaxy has a supermassive black hole at its center, much like every egg has a yolk. But sometimes, hens lay eggs with ...

"The Spiderweb protocluster is an ideal laboratory for investigating the relationship between black holes and star formation ...

From missing links, to primordial beginnings, to extremely powerful plasma jets that could be shaping our universe in mysterious ways, here are the top 10 black hole discoveries that blew our ...

While black holes are perplexing at any size, some of the most mysterious are hypothetical primordial black holes, those that sprung into existence in the first second after the Big Bang and some ...

Oct. 7, 2024 — Researchers conducted innovative simulations of spinning black holes grounded in general relativity, which clarified that the ultraluminous accretion disk (i.e., gaseous spiral ...

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 gas speeds up as it approaches the black hole’s event horizon – like how water surrounding a whirlpool moves faster and faster as it spirals inward. As the gas heats up, it glows brightly in ...

You’ll go from “wait, what’s a black hole?” to confidently explaining quantum physics (or something close to it). Fire it up on any of your devices and let the binge-worthy learning begin.

For half a century, astrophysicists have been trying to solve the Black Hole Information Paradox—first explained by Stephen Hawking in 1976—which posits that black holes destroy information.
