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 ...

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 ...

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 exert a tremendous influence on their surroundings, meaning that when they spin, they literally drag the very fabric of space and time around with them. That means nothing can sit still ...

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 ...

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

Scientists using observations from NASA's Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory have discovered, for the first time, the signal from a pair of monster black holes disrupting a cloud of gas in the center of a ...

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

Scientists using observations from NASA's Neil Gehrels Swift Observatory have discovered, for the first time, the signal from ...

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 ...
