There’s a good chance that the average person on the street knows what a black hole is – or at least, the very basics. White ...

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 ...

Black hole light echoes are an extreme form of gravitational lensing. To measure the masses and spins of black holes, ...

Supermassive black holes (SMBHs) can have billions of solar masses, and observational evidence suggests that all large ...

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 ...

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 ...

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

Just in time for Halloween, two black holes are in the news.

At the heart of our Milky Way galaxy lurks a supermassive black hole about four million times the mass of the sun, called ...

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

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 ...
