Astronomers propose a new theory for the mysterious 'little red dots' seen by the Webb Telescope, suggesting they are a new object: a 'black hole star'.

Astrophysicist Dr. Daniela Stern will deliver a lecture on black holes and neutron stars at Sky’s the Limit Observatory in Twentynine Palms on November 1.

New research suggests mysterious 'Little Red Dots' seen by the Webb Telescope are not galaxies, but giant stars powered by supermassive black holes at their core.

Citizen scientists have discovered three new 'odd radio circles' in deep space, including the most powerful and distant twin-ring system ever observed.

Data from the XRISM space observatory reveals that a distant neutron star system is producing cosmic winds that are far slower and denser than predicted.

A 2019 gravitational wave signal, GW190521, may have been an echo from a black hole merger in a parallel universe, a new scientific paper suggests.

A clear signal from a black hole collision 1.3 billion light-years away has provided powerful new evidence supporting key theories from Einstein and Hawking.

A new study of a massive cosmic object known as an Odd Radio Circle suggests it may be a 2-million-light-year-wide remnant of past supermassive black hole activity.

A new gravitational wave signal from a black hole merger offers the clearest confirmation yet of theories by Einstein and Hawking, detailing black hole properties.

A new book by physicist Jonas Enander, "Facing Infinity," uses vivid thought experiments to explain the science of black holes and the process of spaghettification.
