It probably isn’t a black hole, if it exists at all. But two physicists think we should check to see if it’s a black hole anyway. Two physicists think that we should check to see…
Thousands of planets may form and orbit around the kind of supermassive black holes found in the cores of most, if not all, galaxies, a new study finds. “Planets are not only orbiting around stars, but also…
Most of the universe is made up of dark energy, a mysterious force that drives the accelerating expansion of the universe. The next largest ingredient is dark matter, which only interacts with the rest of…
