A clear signal from the merger of two black holes, each about 33 solar masses, confirmed Hawking's theorem: the final horizon area turned out larger than the sum of the initial ones. This strengthens the link between black hole area and entropy.

Astronomers observed a gamma-ray flare from a quasar — the ultra-bright core of a galaxy with a black hole inside. The light traveled for 7 billion years. Unexpectedly, it turned out to have originated not from the hole itself, but from the dust ring surrounding it. This helps us understand how blac

If neutron stars had tiny bumps, they would constantly hum with gravitational waves. Using LIGO, scientists searched for that hum from 34 pulsars, the largest search of its kind. No signals were found, which pushes the theoretical limits even lower. The Crab pulsar, for instance, turns less than 0.0
