If you believe popular science headlines, our cosmos could unravel at any instant. It's very unlikely, but the idea's core questions are still worth asking.

New data from the James Webb Space Telescope says that we'll need to rethink our model of the universe, and scientists are very excited.

Imagine stars millions of times larger than the Sun powered by black holes. It sounds too bizarre to be true, but scientists think they may be responsible for today's universe.

Some of the largest galaxies in the cosmos aren't creating new stars. Now scientists finally think they know why.

No, we didn't create a microscopic warp bubble. But we may be getting closer and closer to actually doing it.

When stars get too close to each other the encounters can end in cannibalism, massive explosions, and even parasitic infestations.

Neutron stars' thunder is usually stolen by black holes, but these bizarre objects living on the edge of physics create plenty of fascinating phenomena all on their own.

We know that black holes are bizarre. We know they exist. We even have a picture of one. But what exactly are they?

For the first time, an AI was trained how to simulate a universe 600 million light years across. Does how fast it was able to do it and how well it understood its task tell us something profound about the cosmos?

The late physicist Stephen Hawking predicted that black holes evaporate as its massive tidal forces interfere with quantum particles. Now, experiments are starting to confirm his predictions.

The Event Horizon Telescope's image of M87* is so good that theorists thought it was too good to be true.

Are two galaxies which seem to lack dark matter proof that dark matter must be a particle rather than a quirk of gravity at cosmic scales. Well, it's actually kind of complicated...

If you imagine galaxies as tranquil clouds of gas and dust, lit up by billions of pinpoints of light, a 3D map of the Milky Way and the details behind it will show you otherwise.

A binary system observed by ALMA isn't wonky, it's the first example of an anomaly we only thought was possible until we saw it with our own eyes: a polar protoplanetary disk.

New observations of the center of our galaxy have, for the first time, revealed hotspots in the disk of chaotic gas orbiting our Milky Way's supermassive black hole.
