The Chandra X-ray Observatory has snapped stunning photos of the invisible universe for 25 years. NASA may end the mission ...
Facing budget cuts, NASA is slicing funding for a key telescope, leaving the project and the future of X-ray astronomy adrift ...
In other words, near a black hole, nothing stands still. Nothing at all. Clearly, black holes can't be dragged down to Earth, so these effects can be studied in the lab — but a research team ...
The supermassive black hole at the heart of our galaxy has a side you've never seen before. A new image shows powerful magnetic fields swirling around Earth's hometown black hole called ...
The more mass an object has, the stronger its gravitational pull. If Earth was (hypothetically) crushed into a black hole, it would be under an inch across. So you might wonder, how can we see a ...
More specifically, a signal detected in a pocket of the universe roughly 650 million light-years from Earth indicates a ... is a surprisingly lightweight black hole. The pair would have danced ...
Apr. 5, 2024 — A team of researchers has shown that molecules can be as formidable at scrambling quantum information as black holes by combining mathematical tools from black hole physics and ...
A bus-sized satellite has become the latest piece to fall to Earth. How often does that happen? Freezing temperatures affect electric vehicles in two major ways. Watch to discover how and why.
Physicists have been struggling to figure this out since the early 1970s, when Stephen Hawking and Jacob Bekenstein calculated how much entropy, or disorder, should be present in a black hole.
