It releases tremendous amounts of energy in the process, which is the process that powers stars like the Sun

What are we to make of the strange gravitational pull that empty boxes have on cats?

The findings, published in the journal Astronomy & Astrophysics, are a result of 27 years of observations

One black hole is nice, but astrophysicists can do a lot more science with 50 of them

NASA has detected a massive thermonuclear explosion in space. The culprit appears to be a distant pulsar, according to the space agency - the remains of a star that exploded into a supernova but was too small to form a black hole.
