Most theories describe the singularity of black hole as a particularly brutal end, but a new study suggests this physics-breaking point could give way to a new beginning.

Never before had scientists seen the phenomenon until they rallied colleagues around the world to view a galaxy far, far away American Ingenuity Awards Jay Bennett; Photographs by Adam Glanzman ...

This churning of the fabric of space means that the objects and matter surrounding a black hole cannot sit still, and are dragged along as the black hole swirls its surroundings.

It is the first time a stellar pair ... astronomers using NASA's Hubble Space Telescope have discovered that the blowtorch-like jet from a supermassive black hole at the core of a huge galaxy ...

Black holes have such extreme gravity that not even light can escape. They have been caught shredding entire stars and can even devour other black holes. And now, one scientist thinks there’s a chance ...
