This happened when the Universe was only 740 million years old . A team of astronomers used JWST to study this event , the most distant and earliest detection of a black hole merger . ever Such collisions are fairly commonplace in more modern epochs of cosmic history and astronomers know that

  • How could we give boring blobby galaxies a new, exciting shape?

    Updated: 2024-05-14 15:00:56
    Galaxies could do with a few more arms or some decorative designs – on this episode of Dead Planets Society, our hosts are using collisions, black holes and dark matter to reshape our galaxy

  • Invisible 'dark radiation' may explain a big problem with dark energy

    Updated: 2024-05-09 19:00:47
    Surprising recent measurements hint that the universe isn’t expanding in the way we had thought, and it could be explained by still-theoretical dark radiation

  • Black holes scramble information – but may not be the best at it

    Updated: 2024-05-06 13:00:47
    Information contained within quantum objects gets scrambled when they interact. Physicists have now derived a speed limit for this process, challenging the idea that black holes are the fastest data scramblers
