Cosmic radiation occasionally contains enormous amounts of energy, but we don’t know why or where this radiation comes from.

A binary system 18,000 light-years away, emits X-rays as a Sun-like star orbits a dense companion, either a neutron star or black hole. Telescopes like Chandra, IXPE, and XMM-Newton capture its ...

Astronomers searching for massive black holes shredding stars found one in an unusual place -- 2,600 light years from the core of a galaxy. The roque black hole may be from an earlier merger with ...

Supermassive black holes are behemoths that weigh in at several million to billion times the mass of our own sun. Like their ...

Astronomers have detected a rare black hole outside a galaxy’s core devouring a star in the first known offset tidal ...

The sonification of WR 124 begins with a descending scream-like sound near the star’s hot core and incorporates musical ...

What is Space Jaws? A covert black hole revealed itself to astronomers in 2025 with a spectacular burst of radiation known as a tidal disruption event ...

It sounds like something from a sci-fi thriller. A giant black hole quietly drifted through space before tearing a star apart. Now, thanks to NASA telescopes, this silent predator has been caught ...

NASA's Hubble captured a rare event 600 million light-years away: a black hole devouring a star in a Tidal Disruption Event (TDE). This "offset" TDE, named AT2024tvd, suggests the black hole isn't ...

Just when you thought it was safe to go back in the cosmos, NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has discovered a terrifying, roving, oft-invisible monster dubbed "Space Jaws." Lurking 600 million light ...
