Artist's impression of a microlensing event caused by a black hole observed from Earth toward the Large Magellanic Cloud. The light of a background star located in the LMC is bent by a putative ...

A newly detected gamma-ray halo around the Milky Way may be the first direct hint of dark matter. NASA’s Fermi telescope spotted an intense glow matching predictions for colliding dark-matter ...

Scientists have strengthened the potential connection between dark energy and black holes. New research suggests that as more black holes were born in "little Big Bang reverse replays" in the 14.6 ...

Cosmologists have traced the Big Bang’s earliest moments with great care, from the explosive inflation that set spacetime in ...

This so-called tidal disruption event is the best way to spot these middle-mass black holes. A rogue, middle-mass black hole has been spotted disrupting an orbiting star in the halo of a distant ...

Astrophysicists have teased a hellish potential future in which life on Earth is extinguished by deadly radiation from the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way. The picture of a ...
