Scientists Predict 90% Chance Of Black Hole Explosion By 2035 That Could Reveal Universe's Secrets
The predicted explosion could be strong evidence of a theorised but never observed kind of black hole, called a "primordial black hole".

Astronomers Observe Rare Supernova–Black Hole Interaction in Early Stages
In a groundbreaking discovery, astronomers observed SN 2023zkd, a supernova that may have been triggered by close interaction with a black hole. Featuring unusual brightness peaks and extended pre-explosion activity, the event offers new insights into star black hole dynamics. Real-time AI detection played a key role, and upcoming surveys promise t...

Brightest Gamma-Ray Burst Ever Observed Reveals Cosmic Secrets
On October 9, 2022, astronomers detected GRB 221009A, the most powerful gamma-ray burst ever recorded, earning the nickname “BOAT” (Brightest Of All Time). This rare, once-in-10,000-year event came from a galaxy 2 billion light-years away and temporarily blinded gamma-ray detectors. It revealed new insights into stellar death, as the associated...

Astronomers Discover Most Powerful Cosmic Explosions Since the Big Bang
Astronomers have discovered extreme nuclear transients — rare and powerful explosions caused by stars being torn apart by supermassive black holes. These events, brighter and longer-lasting than supernovae, were observed using data from Gaia and ZTF. As the most energetic cosmic outbursts since the Big Bang, they offer valuable insights into blac...

Astronomers Uncover Most Powerful Explosion Since The Big Bang
Astronomers discover "extreme nuclear transients" (ENTs), cosmic explosions releasing energy equivalent to 100 suns.

Unprecedented Cosmic Explosion Discovered: Could This Be The Greatest Space Mystery Ever?
A newly detected cosmic explosion, EP240408a, could be the result of a white dwarf's death, creating a high-speed jet. It offers new insights into astrophysics.

Scientists Develop New Approach to Capture Gravitational Wave Memory from Supernovae
A study published in Physical Review Letters highlights new methods to detect the gravitational wave memory effect, a unique phenomenon predicted by Einstein's general relativity. Core-collapse supernovae (massive stellar explosions) generate these low-frequency gravitational waves, offering a rare glimpse into stellar interiors. Despite their weak...

Black Holes Explosions Driven by Hawking Radiation May Unveil New Physics
Primordial black holes, potentially formed shortly after the Big Bang, may be undergoing explosions across the universe, driven by Hawking radiation. Physicists believe that capturing these rare events could reveal undiscovered particles and fundamental physics. Dr. Marco Calzà and Dr. João G. Rosa from the University of Coimbra have proposed way...

Astronomers Observe Black Hole That May Have Formed Gently
The conventional wisdom among astronomers is that black holes - those exceptionally dense objects with gravity so powerful that not even light can escape - form in the violent explosion, called a supernova, of a massive dying star.

Astronomers Discover Rare Triple Black Hole System in Milky Way, Challenging Formation Theories
Astronomers has revealed a rare triple system in the Milky Way consisting of a black hole and two stars, known as V404 Cygni. Located approximately 8,000 light-years away, this system poses new questions about black hole formation, suggesting that they may arise through a less violent "direct collapse" process rather than the expected explosive eve...

Supermassive Black Hole Jets Spark Increased Nova Explosions, Hubble Discovers
Recent findings from the Hubble Space Telescope reveal that supermassive black hole jets may be responsible for an increase in nova explosions in nearby double-star systems. This unexpected connection indicates that the energetic jets emitted by black holes can influence the surrounding stellar environment, leading to heightened activity in nova er...

Largest Cosmic Explosion Ever, Raging For 3 Years, Spotted By Astronomers
Last year, astronomers witnessed the brightest explosion on record - a gamma-ray burst known as GRB 221009A.

Largest Cosmic Explosion That Occurred 8 Billion Light Years Away Detected
Astronomers have discovered the largest cosmic explosion that has ever been witnessed. The event took place eight billion light years away from Earth and lasted for three years.

Dormant Black Hole Deemed ‘Needle in a Haystack’ Identified Outside the Milky Way
Astronomers have identified a black hole that not only is classified as dormant but appears to have been born without the explosion of a dying star, in a galaxy adjacent to the Milky Way. Black holes are extraordinarily dense objects with gravity so intense not even light can escape. Deemed a cosmic "needle in a haystack", the newly discovered ‘d...

How Did Heavy Metals Like Gold, Uranium Form? Research Says Answer Lies in Black Holes
While all heavy metals have formed under extreme conditions inside stars or due to stellar explosions and collision of neutron stars, the question remains: when and why was the material ejected and whether heavy elements can be produced in any other way.
