The catastrophic collision of a black hole and a neutron star sent ripples across the universe. New analysis of those ripples ...

A powerful "gamma-ray burst" has been seen exploding from merging neutron stars hidden within a previously unknown mini-galaxy leftover from an ancient cosmic crash. The "collision within a collision" ...

Scientists analyzing a gravitational-wave signal have discovered that a neutron star and black hole spiraled together on an oval-shaped orbit just before merging. This unusual motion, detected in the ...

A newly analyzed gravitational-wave event has revealed something unexpected about one of the Universe’s most violent encounters. Scientists have found the first strong evidence that a black hole and a ...

In 2023, astronomers using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory and Hubble Space Telescope spotted an unusual class of short gamma-ray bursts, whose origin appeared to be the collision of two neutron ...

GRB 230906A, a short gamma-ray burst first detected in 2023, points to a faint galaxy embedded within a long stream of torn ...

When the remnants of two stars collide, their union can launch a dazzling jet of high energy matter. A new computer simulation reveals how the merger, which forms a black hole, emits that bright beam, ...

NASA missions have discovered evidence of a rare neutron star collision in a tiny, distant galaxy, potentially shedding light ...
