Black holes are always fascinating, and a new simulation adds to their mystery. You likely did not previously associate them with fluffy angel-food cake, but researchers at Caltech recently put ...

Supermassive black holes spiral towards each other in this simulation created by NASA's Goddard Space Flight Center that ...

A new computer simulation flies through tangled galaxies and zooms in on a black hole to dissect how these voids feats on surrounding matter. ... Live 4K Sen video from space! Night sky tonight!

NASA simulations show plunge into black hole. While humanity has learned much more about black holes in recent years since the first one was identified in 1964, the objects remain notoriously ...

NASA says that its black hole simulation took around five days to complete and only ran on around 0.3 percent of Discover’s 129,000 processors. In that time, ...

The simulation shows a camera heading toward a black hole -- similar to the one at the center of our galaxy -- that's surrounded by a flat, swirling cloud of hot gas called an accretion disk.

When a black hole and a neutron star finally meet, the result is cosmic carnage—and now, thanks to Caltech’s latest supercomputer simulations, we’re getting a front-row seat to the whole ...

Now, new simulations show that these collisions influence the spins of black holes. As the black holes move closer together, their spins align with the binary orbit creating a beautiful sight in ...

A black hole’s gravitational pull is so intense that nothing can escape it; even a planet is doomed if it falls too close to one. Objects, including stars, will experience tidal forces when they ...

Stars that wander too close to supermassive black holes may be violently undone in a process called "spaghettification." New simulations provide the most detailed look ever at the gory interaction.
