Radio waves from this blazar traveled more than 12.9 billion light-years to reach us, which is a new record for this type of cosmic object. The shining behemoth's remarkable age could enable ...
The team has found that while the "victim star" of this black hole orbits it in just 6.5 Earth days, the newly uncovered third star in the system orbits the greedy cosmic titan so far away it ...
In this way, so too could our universe simply be within a black hole in some larger, uh, universe, thereby challenging the word “universe” and introducing the whole multiverse concept.
