A new theoretical model made by Israeli astrophysicists reveals an excess of massive galaxies, in contrast to previously accepted theories.

The mystery of the runaway black hole - study

A mysterious trail of stars puzzled scientists for some time. While a theory posited this to be a supermassive black hole passing through a gas cloud, a simpler theory has now emerged.

Scientists discover most powerful explosion ever witnessed in space - study

An explosion in space, dubbed AT2021lwx, is 10 times more powerful than a supernova and 3 times more than a star being devoured by a black hole – and it's been going on for 3 years.
