To explore the galaxy and hunt for resources, intelligent aliens might need to turn their home stars into natural spaceships, a new paper suggests. A few known star systems might fit the bill.

Peculiar James Webb Space Telescope observations seem to show gargantuan black holes in the earliest moments of the universe. New research may explain how they formed, thanks to primordial "seeds".

As black holes slowly vanish through Hawking radiation, their information may be preserved in subtle space-time ripples, a new theory suggests.

A strange star has revealed to astronomers a mysterious past — one that involves the merger of two ancient suns.

The universe is a strange place on very small scales.

As black holes slowly vanish through Hawking radiation, their information may be preserved in subtle space-time ripples, a new theory suggests.

Nothing is supposed to escape a black hole's event horizon — yet new research suggests it may secretly leak information.

The James Webb space telescope had several stunning findings this year that changed how we understand the universe.
