Some of the mysterious pinpricks of light at the dawn of the Universe could be a type of object we've never seen before. According to a new analysis of a "little red dot" (LRD) nicknamed The Cliff, ...

A giant star that is still being consumed by a supermassive black hole may have caused the largest flare of its kind ever ...

The Big Bang theory has dominated our understanding of the universe’s origin for almost 100 years. It describes a moment when ...

Here is what you will learn when you read this story: Little red dots (LRDs) observed by the James Webb Space Telescope were initially thought to be galaxies, but something was amiss. Researchers who ...

A provocative new theory suggests that the Universe may not have begun with a traditional Big Bang, but rather as a “Big Bounce” — the explosive rebound of matter collapsing into a black hole. Led by ...

Scientists have simulated how M87*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy M87, powers its immense particle jet. The Frankfurt team’s FPIC code shows that magnetic reconnection, where ...

Mathematical quirks of our universe have led some cosmologists to wonder whether the cosmos was actually born in a black hole. Parallels in the physics of the universe and that of black holes have led ...

The Big Bang may have actually been the explosive rebound of a collapsing black hole – one which our entire Universe could still be inside of. That’s the claim of a new study led by Enrique Gaztañaga ...
