A supermassive monster lurks at the center of our galaxy, and astronomers have now discovered that it’s spinning so fast it’s warping the very fabric of spacetime into a football shape. According to ...

Astronomers used a method once theorized by Albert Einstein to find a mysterious and rare planet on the edge of our galaxy. The planet, AT2021uey b, is a Jupiter-sized gas giant located about 3,200 ...

A massive, spacetime-warping cluster of galaxies is the setting of today's NASA/ESA Hubble Space Telescope image. The galaxy cluster in question is Abell 209, located 2.8 billion light-years away in ...

The Sagittarius A* supermassive black hole at the core of the Milky Galaxy may be "warping the spacetime surrounding it into a shape that can look like a football," according to the Chandra X-ray ...

New research "boldly goes" where physicists have never gone before, suggesting what would happen to the space around a failing warp drive. In addition, a team from the Queen Mary University of London, ...

Einstein’s general theory of relativity is a tool kit for solving problems involving gravity that connects mass and energy with deformations in spacetime. In turn, those spacetime deformations ...

I've been trying to explain quantum physics, forces, relativity, and space-time to my kid and we had a question that I'm finding difficult to find a solid answer to. Background you can skip if you ...
