The Hubble Space Telescope's evidence of an "intermediate-sized" black hole about 6000 light-years away in the closest ...

A burst of X-rays from 8 billion years ago may be the first clear evidence of a white dwarf torn apart by a black hole.

An examination of earlier observations from the wide-field X-ray telescope revealed another persistent X-ray signal preceding the gamma ray burst, which is an odd order of events for high-energy ...

For the first time, NASA Chandra X-ray telescope has been used to discover a pair of black holes in dwarf galaxies that are on a collision course. The Chandra team explains. Credit: NASA/CXC/A. Hobart ...

A newly detected X-ray transient may reveal the first direct evidence of an intermediate-mass black hole consuming a white dwarf. A newly observed cosmic outburst is giving astronomers a rare glimpse ...

Dustin Swarm, an astrophysicist and assistant professor at the University of Iowa, recently helped capture the first X-ray view of a white dwarf star. Swarm, in collaboration with MIT, studied the ...

Internationally-vetted data suggests we've witnessed a rare intermediate-mass black hole devouring a white dwarf along the outskirts of a distant galaxy.

On 2 July, 2025, the China-led Einstein Probe (EP) space telescope detected an exceptionally bright X-ray source whose brightness varied rapidly during a routine sky survey. Its unusual signal ...

It would really suck to be all alone on Mars at night. The post This Photo of Mars at Night Is Straight Up Haunting appeared first on Futurism.

All the “normal” matter, like the stars, gas, dust, and people, is called baryonic matter, and it’s basically the tiny visible fraction of a universe that’s mostly invisible and still not fully ...

A telescope in Chile has revealed the swirling splendor of star-forming gases at the heart of our Milky Way galaxy.
