As the collapsed core of a massive star, a neutron star is a small but incredibly dense object, packing up to three times the ...

Here’s what you’ll learn when you read this story: Theoretical physicists have long debated the possible existence of wormholes, which are mathematically possible, but no evidence points to their ...

Simply put, a black hole is a region of space-time where gravity is so strong that nothing can escape from it. This includes light, which travels at the cosmic speed limit of 186,000 miles per second.

In the world of black holes, there are generally three size categories: stellar-mass black holes (about five to 50 times the mass of the sun), supermassive black holes (millions to billions of times ...

The banner over the bar stated “Science Is Real,” and on a recent Monday night, the science was very real. “Astronomy on Tap Charlottesville,” which has brought the wonders of the universe to ...

Studying black holes is immensely difficult, but with gravitational wave detection, astrophysicists do have a way to directly analyze these mysterious objects. A new study details the “clearest ...
