Could Mysterious Black Hole Burps Rewrite Physics?

Crucially, this bounce occurs entirely within the framework of general relativity, which applies on large scales such as ...

Astronomers have spotted a supermassive black hole ripping apart and devouring a star in colliding galaxies. It is only the second time a tidal disruption event has been seen in interacting galaxies.

NASA has confirmed a massive black hole collision in a nearby galaxy, releasing an enormous amount of gravitational waves across the cosmos. This event, detected through space telescopes and ...

NPR's Danielle Kurtzleben speaks with astrophysicist Priyamvada Natarajan about the James Webb Space Telescope's recent discovery of two distant black holes colliding.
