Astronomers have reported an unusually high-energy event that may represent a rare form of black hole feeding. The transient, named EP250702a, was fir.

A burst of X-rays from 8 billion years ago may be the first clear evidence of a white dwarf torn apart by a black hole.

An unusual tidal disruption event spotted by astronomers may be the result of an elusive intermediate mass black hole ripping ...

The discovery challenges existing theories of how matter close to supermassive black holes behaves.

Astronomers studying a brief optical flare detected in 2022 say it may have been caused by a black hole ripping apart a star, and the event’s unusual properties point toward a type of black hole that ...

Internationally-vetted data suggests we've witnessed a rare intermediate-mass black hole devouring a white dwarf along the outskirts of a distant galaxy.

On 2 July, 2025, the China-led Einstein Probe (EP) space telescope detected an exceptionally bright X-ray source whose brightness varied rapidly during a routine sky survey. Its unusual signal ...

Inter-University Centre for Astronomy and Astrophysics (IUCAA) organised open campus day to celebrate National Science Day observed on February 28 ...

Some of the universe's most extreme explosions leave behind almost no trace. The original explosion is unseen, but our observations can capture the long-lived echo it leaves behind as the shock front ...

Astronomers have detected the radio afterglow of a powerful space explosion that went unseen, possibly an orphan gamma-ray burst or a rare blackhole event 1.7 billion light-years away ...

Some of the universe's most extreme explosions leave behind almost no trace. The original explosion is unseen, but our observations can capture the ...

Scientists use distant gamma ray bursts to prove that light maintains its constant speed, reinforcing Einstein's theory.
