Black holes are eaters of all things, even radiation. But what if their rapacious appetites had an unexpected side effect? A new study published in Physical Review Letters suggests that black holes ...

Today we are going to talk about cosmology and the fact that black holes were considered as an almost unbelievable idea. In the 30s, British astronomer Arthur ...

Add Yahoo as a preferred source to see more of our stories on Google. Astronomers have to use indirect evidence, like the explosions of Type Ia supernovae, to investigate the impacts of dark energy.

Dark energy—the term used to describe whatever is causing the universe to expand at an increasing rate—is one of the universe’s greatest mysteries. The most widely accepted theory currently suggests ...

A recent study by Rajendra Gupta, published in "Galaxies," proposes that cosmic phenomena conventionally ascribed to dark matter and dark energy can be explained by the temporal weakening of ...

The universe's expansion may be accelerating faster than previously thought. Dark energy, a mysterious force, might not be constant but could be changing over time. Multiple independent studies show ...

Scientists say an ultra-powerful neutrino once thought impossible may be explained by an exotic black hole model involving a so-called “dark charge.” ...

Dark energy is still one of the greatest cosmic mysteries. For all the time, money and telescopes that humanity has used to uncover its nature, scientists are still asking a fundamental question: What ...

A render of a dark energy universe from NASA's Goddard Space Center. Credit: NASA Astronomers at the Center of Applied Space Technology and Microgravity (ZARM) in Germany have published a new study ...

For nearly a century, astronomers have watched galaxies spin and the universe expand in ways that visible matter alone cannot ...

For decades, astronomers have believed that dark matter and dark energy make up most of the universe. However, a new study suggests they might not exist at all. Instead, what we perceive as dark ...
