Astronomers have spotted an apparent supermassive black hole snacking on a star 600 million light-years away, wandering through a galaxy with an even larger black hole at its core. The event, dubbed ...

James Webb Space Telescope interferometric data indicate that hot dust near the Circinus black hole produces most infrared emission, revising earlier interpretations of outflows.

A starship driven by a captive black hole sounds like pure science fiction, yet the underlying physics is brutally literal. A tiny, artificial singularity would convert mass into energy with an ...
