The LIGO/VIRGO/KAGRA collaboration searches the universe for gravitational waves produced by the mergers of black holes and neutron stars. It has now announced the detection of a signal indicating a ...

A team of scientists found a compact object 40,000 light-years from Earth that is either a very massive neutron star or an itsy-bitsy black hole, but they’re not sure which. The so-called mass gap ...

The evolution of stars and their interactions with compact objects, such as black holes and neutron stars, remain pivotal in our understanding of the cosmos. Stellar evolution describes the life ...

Researchers who used a telescope in South Africa report discovery of an object in the Milky Way that could either be the most massive neutron star ever observed, or the least massive black hole.

The sighting of a bright red sphere racing out of our galaxy at extreme speed has handed NASA one of its strangest puzzles in years. The object’s color, shape, and apparent velocity combine into a ...
