One of the papers, published last year, describes the simulated results of quakes on the surface of neutron stars before they ...

A new simulation by researchers shows how a neutron star violently cracks seconds before vanishing into a black hole.

Across the cosmos, many stars can be found in pairs, gracefully circling one another. Yet one of the most dramatic pairings ...

Astronomers have spotted a supermassive black hole ripping apart and devouring a star in colliding galaxies. It is only the ...

Astronomers using the Chandra X-ray Observatory and other telescopes "have determined that a giant black hole has destroyed a ...

Now, astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope have observed a black hole in the act of devouring a star, ripping it apart and creating a huge burst of radiation. It was this radiation burst ...

almost all of them where you'd expect to find massive black holes: in the star-dense cores of massive galaxies. University of California, Berkeley, astronomers have now discovered the first ...

Astronomers have identified a supermassive black hole located on the outskirts of a galaxy 600 million light-years from Earth, where it was observed consuming a nearby star. This extraordinary ...

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.

On each pass, the star kicks out one Jupiter's worth of mass from the black hole's disk. A star in a faraway galaxy is sending itself into a spiral of doom, repeatedly plunging through a disk of ...

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 ...

Astronomers have observed a supermassive black hole consuming a star outside a galaxy's center for the first time, challenging previous assumptions. The event, named "AT2024tvd," occurred 600 ...
