Astronomers have caught a black hole far from the center of its home galaxy ripping a star to shreds — providing, for the first time, direct evidence of a rogue supermassive black hole in action.

Astronomers have observed a tidal disruption event, AT2024tvd, caused by a rogue supermassive black hole devouring a star far from its galaxy's center. This marks the first time a TDE has been ...

They have successfully simulated the 'Black Hole Bomb' theory in a lab. This theory, proposed in the 1970s, explores tapping into a black hole's rotational energy. The experiment involved a ...

Just a year later, German physicist Karl Schwarzschild found an exact solution ... becomes truly infinite at the center of a black hole: a singularity where the laws of physics—or so it seems ...

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 ...

An experimental setup mimics a “black hole bomb” first theorized in 1971. The spinning cylinder with circuitry is true to the original idea, showing that it can be plausible. Electrical waves ...

They suggested it might be a lone black hole. Shortly thereafter, a second research team challenged that result, suggesting it was more likely a neutron star. After continuing to study the object ...

Physicists have built the first ever black hole bomb, a long-theorised phenomenon where energy is boosted by a black hole and trapped by surrounding mirrors until an explosion occurs. Thankfully ...

In 1972, William Press and Saul Teukolsky theorized a concept nicknamed the 'black hole bomb'. Their idea was based on the exponential amplification of waves by a rotating black hole, enclosed in a ...

For the first time, astronomers have confirmed the existence of a lone black hole — one with no star orbiting it. It’s “the only one so far,” says Kailash Sahu, an astronomer at the Space ...

Most large and spiral-shaped galaxies have a black hole, but this was difficult to locate. After decades of efforts, astronomers have found evidence suggesting a supermassive black hole in the ...

After decades of inactivity, the black hole at the galaxy's heart burst with light. Now, the cosmic monster appears to be doing something that is forcing astronomers to re-evaluate their ...
