Astronomers have witnessed a rare cosmic event: a massive star that didn’t explode in a spectacular supernova, but instead ...

A massive star 2.5 million light-years away simply vanished — and astronomers now know why. Instead of exploding in a supernova, it quietly collapsed into a black hole, shedding its outer layers in a ...

A record-breaking gravitational wave signal let scientists "listen" to a distant black hole merger and put Einstein's gravity to its toughest test yet.

An animation of a star that collapsed, forming a black hole. The black hole is at the center, unseen. Surrounding it is a dust shell moving away from the black hole and gas being pulled toward it.

An unusual tidal disruption event spotted by astronomers may be the result of an elusive intermediate mass black hole ripping apart a star.
