Communities that depend heavily on resource extraction industries may face social and economic challenges ... Events such as gamma-ray bursts, rogue black holes, or cosmic rays could have catastrophic ...
For artist Raphaella Brice, the Black Madonna over the river in Waterbury is about a community’s self-discovery. Even more so ...
Black holes are notoriously messy eaters, but scientists are getting a clearer picture of just how gross they can really be.
Due to something called the "Lense-Thirring effect," surrounding matter falling into black holes doesn't just fall straight down as an object dropped on Earth would. Instead, upon entering the ...
Astronomers have found a striking link between the amount of dust surrounding a supermassive black hole and the strength of ...

The black holes at the heart of galaxies have an unexpected delivery service that helps them feed over months rather than hundreds of years. Supermassive black holes may have a completely ...
A new Northwestern University-led study is changing the way astrophysicists understand the eating habits of supermassive black holes. While previous researchers have hypothesized that black holes ...
Astronomers have found a striking link between the amount of dust surrounding a supermassive black hole and the strength of the radio emission produced in extremely bright galaxies. Astronomers have ...
Alexandru Lupsasca and Michael Johnson won the physics prize for their work on photon spheres — weird rings of light around black holes that may reveal a theory of quantum gravity. Two ...

Supermassive black holes may have a completely unexpected cosmic delivery service supplying them with gas and dust to feast on. This could result in the cosmic titans feeding much faster than ...
