The center of our Milky Way could contain the corpses of tens of thousands of black holes

What really lies in the center of the Milky Way galaxy? There are many theories attempting to answer that question, but it turns out that the real answer could be incredibly complicated. This is according to new astrophysics research that reveals there could be a large number of black holes present right around a known […]

Scientists boost gravitational-wave detection by reducing background noise

Gravitational waves could hold the key to a better understanding of the universe and everything that happens in it. Although there are already sophisticated machines and methods dedicated to their detection and analysis, it is well-known that they could still be improved. Now a group of researchers believes that they have found a way to […]

Super-sized black holes observed rapidly expanding, engulfing entire galaxies

The nightmarish growth of all-devouring super-massive black holes (SMBH) is fueled by the amount of stellar mass in their host-galaxy, reported a Cornell University (CU) research study. The more stars there are, the faster and bigger they grow, rather akin to interstellar parasites. Earlier studies have proposed that SMBH grow in relation to the combined […]

Gravitational waves suggest the fabric of reality is laced together by cosmic strings

The detection of gravitational waves last February launched a wave of excitement in the astronomical community. Surfing on the tale end of the discovery, two Spain physicists believe the detection of gravitational waves could in turn help researchers detect cosmic strings, hypothetical one-dimensional subatomic particles that constitute the fabric of reality. Whenever astronomers look out […]
