Explosions typically connected to black holes and dying stars may happen right in our planet's atmosphere, too.

The asteroid, titled 387746 (2003 MH4), is gigantic. It is 335 metres in width, approximately 1,100 feet. That's almost the ...

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 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 ...

IXPE saw record 47.5% optical polarization in blazar BL Lacertae in 2023 X-ray polarization stayed low, confirmed Compton scattering by electrons Findings rule out proton models and deepen insight ...

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 ...

allowed astronomers to pinpoint a wandering supermassive black hole using NASA’s Hubble Space Telescope, with similar supporting observations from NASA’s Chandra X-Ray Observatory and the NARO Very ...

A TDE happens when an infalling star gets too close to a black hole. NASA has released a stunning image of a black hole swallowing a star and causing a massive explosion. Although the cosmic event ...
