However, theoretical physicists propose a less understood but equally fascinating counterpart: the white hole. Unlike black holes, which attract matter, white holes would repel it. In astrophysics ...

Astronomers trained the instrument on a number of galaxies in deep space, and at the center of one galaxy spotted a young, ...

As its name suggests, a white hole is the opposite of a black hole in many ways; where a black hole swallows all light and matter, a white hole can spill it out. Physicists originally considered ...

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

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 ...

Do you remember the famous images of the supermassive black holes in the centre of the galaxy M87 and our own galaxy the ...

A fresh analysis of decades-old X-ray black hole jet data has revealed bright, lumpy features with mysterious speed changes.

A team of astrophysicists, led by scholars from the Institute for Advanced Study, has developed an innovative technique to ...

New research suggests black holes are unstable, challenging Einstein's theory of general relativity and the Kerr solution.

The hungriest known black hole in the early universe has been found, thanks to teamwork between NASA's James Webb Space Telescope and Chandra X-ray Observatory. A fresh analysis of decades-old X ...

What is causing these massive, mysterious explosions in space? This black hole was formed when the universe was a toddler This black hole was formed when the universe was a toddler The first ...
