The kilonova briefly mimicked the conditions immediately following the Big Bang, and allowed scientists to confirm the source ...

Nijmegen master's students predict that LISA, an upcoming space antenna project by the ESA, will detect stronger ...

If true, this theory could explain how all of the matter in our universe was created.

Black holes are regions in space where an enormous amount of mass is packed into a tiny volume. This creates a gravitational pull so strong that not even light can escape. They are created when giant ...

Astronomers have used a range of telescopes, including Hubble, to watch as particles dance around a neutron star collision ...

Black holes are points in space that are so dense they create deep gravity sinks. Beyond a certain region, not even light can escape the powerful tug of a black hole's gravity. And anything that ...

A third, tenuously held companion to the known binary V404 Cygni may signal that at least some black holes form "gently." ...

Using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory, astronomers studied the jets of a black hole at the center of Centaurus A, watching ...

while background radiation prevented them from forming stars. Instead, they collapsed into black holes. The trouble is that ...

The temperature of elementary particles has been observed in the radioactive glow following the collision of two neutron stars and the birth of a black hole. This has, for the first time, made it ...
