Using the European Space Agency's Euclid space telescope, astronomers have discovered a treasure trove of 31 black-hole-powered quasars in the early universe. The most impressive of these new discoveries is the most…...

16+ hour, 42+ min ago  (415+ words) A special class of supernovae is distinguished by anomalous brightness because the shock waves of the explosion collide with a dense shell of gas and dust around the stellar system. New modeling has linked the formation of this cocoon to…...

19+ hour, 53+ min ago  (810+ words) From school we know the classic scenario of black hole formation: when a massive star reaches the end of its life cycle, its outer layers are blasted away in a huge supernova explosion, while the core collapses irreversibly. It turns…...

10+ hour, 1+ min ago  (489+ words) New research suggests that when black holes collide, the properties of the final, merged object may be determined by a simple entropy-maximizing rule, echoing the second law of thermodynamics. In a paper posted in January 2026, a team led by Monica…...
