Could the Universe have been born inside a black hole? This question, raised by a team of scientists, challenges the Big Bang ...

Researchers have observed strange goings-on around a supermassive black hole located nearly 300 million light years away.

A team of scientists is proposing a bold alternative to the Big Bang theory, suggesting that our universe may have instead ...

Could Mysterious Black Hole Burps Rewrite Physics?

Astronomers have found a remarkably powerful jet shooting out from a black hole that formed just 3 billion years after the ...

What began as a mathematical curiosity scorned by leading scientists has become the cornerstone of modern astrophysics, ...

Black holes may form and grow quietly inside stars due to the accumulation of dark matter, potentially explaining the existence of near- and sub-solar-mass black holes. In white dwarfs, the ...

And, sometimes material falling into a black hole can "become rerouted" into two jets, ... "Maybe the jet somehow snowplows hydrogen fuel onto the white dwarfs, causing them to erupt more frequently." ...

A supermassive black hole with an exceptional 7-minute flash may have a “stellar companion.” Of three possible explanations, one is a white dwarf star caught in the black hole’s gravity.

Expect the unexpected In this artist’s rendering, a stream of matter trails a white dwarf orbiting within the innermost accretion disk surrounding 1ES 1927+654’s supermassive black hole. (Courtesy: ...
