A neutron star's final moments may spark violent starquakes, monster shock waves, and even a fleeting, never-before-seen ...

But a merger called GW190521 didn't really fit templates especially well and only matched best if the black holes involved weren't spinning at all. The chirp was unusually short, and there is no ...

Astronomers have spied two supermassive black holes feasting together as two galaxies merged — and are the closest to colliding that astronomers have ever observed.

Numerical simulation of a black hole-neutron star merger. The density profile is shown in blue and green, the magnetic-field lines penetrating the black hole are shown in pink.

Astronomers have spied two supermassive black holes feasting together as two galaxies merged — and are the closest to colliding that astronomers have ever observed.

The two black holes are extraordinarily close together and are jointly feasting on the matter generated as a byproduct of the merging galaxies. They are only 750 lightyears away from each other ...

Gravitational waves have been uncovered from a massive black hole merger that shows the resultant black hole settling into a spherical shape for the first time, helping test Einstein’s theory of ...

The research is described in "Self-interacting dark matter solves the final parsec problem of supermassive black hole mergers," published this month in the journal Physical Review Letters.

Speed Limit Of Black Holes Recoiling From A Merger Estimated For First Time Merged black holes can be launched into the universe at a whopping 28,000 kilometers per second. Dr. Alfredo Carpineti ...

New images show a collision of two enormous black holes, and it's the most distant black hole merger ever detected. The collision happened just 740 million years after the big bang event that ...
