Mysterious “little red dots” spotted by the James Webb Space Telescope may not hide black holes after all. Scientists now ...

Astronomers report a supergiant star in the Andromeda Galaxy, M31-2014-DS1, collapsed directly into a black hole without a supernova, confirming predictions of failed stellar explosions.

Imagine watching a massive star that's been burning steadily for millions of years suddenly dim, fluctuate, and then vanish completely from the night sky. This isn't science fiction. It's happening ...

Astronomers combing through years of images collected by the NEOWISE mission have found the clearest known evidence of a star converting directly to a black hole, without passing through the supernova ...

New simulations suggest magnetic fields hold the key to forming black holes that defy known mass limits. When powerful magnetic forces act on a collapsing, spinning star, they eject vast amounts of ...

In 2014, a NASA telescope observed as the infrared light emitted by a massive star in the Andromeda galaxy gradually grew brighter. The star glowed more intensely with infrared light for around three ...

This popped up on my feeds. Over the last three years, a star went from fairly bright red to nothing. The analysis of the data suggests it was a direct collapse (no supernova) of a 13 solar mass star.
