A massive star in the Andromeda galaxy brightened in infrared light starting around 2014, then faded from optical view and effectively vanished, in what researchers interpret as a direct collapse into ...

What if some black holes aren’t black holes at all? A new theoretical study suggests that when a massive star collapses, it might not form a singularity hidden behind an event horizon. Instead, the ...

A new relativity model suggests gravastars could form when dark energy creates an expanding mini-universe inside a collapsing star, preventing a black hole. (Nanowerk News) Stars shine because atoms ...

A black hole is supposed to be the last word in stellar collapse: matter falls inward, spacetime caves in, and a singularity forms where the known laws of physics stop being useful. That picture has ...

A dying massive star does not go quietly. Its core collapses, matter crashes inward, neutrinos pour out in staggering numbers, and somewhere in that turmoil the blast either rebounds into a supernova ...
