The universe had a secret life before the Big Bang, new study hints
The secrets of black holes and dark matter could lie before the Big Bang, a new study of "bouncing" cosmology hints.
Some black holes have a 'heartbeat' — and astronomers may finally know why
A tiny fraction of known black holes emit X-ray signals that resemble a human "heartbeat." Now, new research may finally explain the strange phenomenon.
Watch a star get destroyed by a supermassive black hole in the 1st simulation of its kind
Stars that wander too close to supermassive black holes may be violently undone in a process called "spaghettification." New simulations provide the most detailed look ever at the gory interaction.
'Final parsec problem' that makes supermassive black holes impossible to explain could finally have a solution
A new study helps solve the "final parsec problem" that has made supermassive black hole formation impossible to explain, pointing to a strange form of dark matter as the key.
The Higgs particle could break physics throughout the universe. Here's why it hasn't.
The elusive Higgs particle has the power to undo physics as we know it. The fact that it hasn't could have big implications about the nature of the universe.
James Webb telescope confirms the earliest galaxy in the universe is bursting with way more stars than we thought possible
The light from the most distant galaxy in the known universe suggests that there's something off about our current cosmological models, a new James Webb Space Telescope study finds. The explanations remain elusive.
Ultra-rare black hole found hiding in the center of the Milky Way
A potential intermediate-mass black hole is hiding right next to our galaxy's supermassive black hole.
