New Study Suggests Universe Will End Sooner Than Previously Thought
The universe is decaying much faster than thought. This is shown by calculations of three Dutch scientists on the so-called Hawking radiation.

NASA Unveils New Space Sounds From Black Holes Using Sonification
With the help of the Chandra X-ray Observatory, the James Webb Space Telescope, and the Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE), the US space agency presented three new space sounds.

Hubble Captures First-Ever Rogue Black Hole Devouring a Star Outside Galactic Core
Astronomers led by Dr. Yuhan Yao have discovered the first offset tidal disruption event (TDE), where a rogue black hole outside a galaxy's core ripped apart a star. Spotted by the Hubble telescope and Zwicky Transient Facility, this marks historic evidence of a wandering supermassive black hole in action.

Hungry Black Hole Rips Apart And Swallows 'Hapless' Star 600 Million Light-Years Away
The tidal disruption event (TDE) took place 600 million light-years away and was caught by the Hubble Space Telescope.

Black Hole That Swallowed Star 600 Million Light-Years Ago Found, NASA Shares Pic
NASA has captured the astronomical event, called a Tidal Disruption Event (TDE), using its Hubble Space Telescope.

NASA Solves Black Hole Jet X-ray Mystery with IXPE’s Polarization Powers
NASA’s IXPE satellite may have solved a longstanding astrophysical mystery: how are X-rays produced in the extreme jets of supermassive black holes? By observing the blazar BL Lacertae, IXPE recorded low X-ray polarization versus very high optical polarization—confirming Compton scattering as the likely mechanism. This breakthrough supports the...

The Universe’s Brightest Lights Have Surprisingly Dark and Mysterious Origins
NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has revealed that some of the universe’s brightest light sources originate near supermassive black holes in galaxy centres. These active galactic nuclei emit intense radiation, including gamma rays and X-rays, despite black holes themselves being invisible. Their powerful jets and high-energy emissions cha...

New Study Uncovers Shadowy Origins of Universe’s Most Luminous Phenomena
NASA’s Fermi Gamma-ray Space Telescope has revealed that some of the universe’s brightest light sources originate near supermassive black holes in galaxy centres. These active galactic nuclei emit intense radiation, including gamma rays and X-rays, despite black holes themselves being invisible. Their powerful jets and high-energy emissions cha...

Scientists Confirm Existence Of First Lone Black Hole In Milky Way
Prior to the current finding, all black holes that scientists have ever identified have been spotted with a companion star.

Hydrogen Gas Cloud Might Help Solve the Mystery of Missing Non-Dark Matter of the Universe
Ionized Hydrogen gas cloud is believed to have the missing matter of the universe, said scientists. This discovery, conducted by DESI, changed the perspective of black hole theory and is believed to switch on and off at its duty cycle. The scientists will further use new measurements in the existing models of the Universe.

NASA Hubble Space Telescope Helps Confirm the First Solitary Black Hole
In the Sagittarius constellation, a lone and first-ever solitary black hole has been discovered by a team of scientists. Although the discovery began in the year 2011, the observations have confirmed it recently. The size of this black hole is as massive as seven times of the sun. Despite the conflicts and differences of observations by another tea...

Signs Of A Supermassive Black Hole Hiding In Nearby Spiral Galaxy
Webb witnessed a highly ionised gas whose level of energy was too high to come from something like supernovae, making scientists believe the presence of a supermassive black hole.

New Black Hole Theory Challenges Singularity: What You Need to Know
A new study has put forward a black hole model that eliminates the central singularity, a concept that has long troubled physicists. Researchers suggest modifying Einstein’s field equations to prevent mathematical values from reaching infinity at a black hole’s core. This approach could reshape our understanding of gravity, black holes, and eve...

Did Black Hole Radiation Shape the Universe?
A study suggests that Hawking radiation, first proposed by Stephen Hawking, may have influenced the universe’s structure. According to reports, primordial black holes that existed in the early universe could have evaporated through Hawking radiation, impacting matter distribution. The research explores how these black holes might have shaped gala...
