Due to gravitational lensing, the photons from a single flash of light near a black hole follow winding paths. Some follow the trajectory of the blue line, where they take a direct path to the ...

But not our kind of rat. We are familiar with the brown rat, Rattus norvegicus. Like the grey squirrel, it is an invasive species, which has taken over from (and eliminated) its predecessor, Rattus ...

Researchers have found that energy instability within black holes may disrupt current models. This finding hints that black holes are more complex and unstable than expected. Credit: SciTechDaily.com ...

"The existence of supermassive black holes in the early universe challenges our current models of black hole formation and growth," said astronomer Hyewon Suh of the International Gemini ...

Apurwa Amit Updated : Nov 04, 2024, 11:26 AM IST Scientists have proposed a groundbreaking theory indicating that black holes might play a role in the expansion of the universe. This research suggests ...

Core package to analyze gravitational-wave data, find signals, and study their parameters. This package was used in the first direct detection of gravitational waves (GW150914), and is used in the ...

Perhaps it will also bring us closer to an understanding of the true nature of black holes" Scientists have strengthened the potential connection between dark energy and black holes. New research ...

Quasars — blazingly bright galactic cores — owe their brilliance to the intense heat that results as gas whirls around a big black hole. The black hole powering a quasar 13 billion light-years ...

This model aligns well with observations, as deviations from Einstein's theory outside the black hole are regulated by new physics parameters, which govern the core's size and are expected to be ...

Astronomers have stumbled upon something truly remarkable: a black hole that’s not just part of a binary system, but part of a trio. This unusual system includes a black hole and two stars — one ...
