Astronomers using JWST have discovered a black hole star, a new cosmic object that could explain mysterious little red dots ...

Villanova astrophysicist Becka Phillipson wondered what a black hole might sound like. She found an answer by translating ...

The star passes very close to the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole and could reveal the black hole’s spin by tracking how it warps the star’s orbit.

When two black holes find each other in the vastness of space, they can form a binary odd couple—and it’s more common than ...
