An international team of astronomers, led by SRON, has observed a sudden outburst of matter near the supermassive black hole ...

If you're going to Mars you'd best take along a jar of anti-aging cream because while you're there you're going to age faster ...

In the end, the Universe becomes a place where gravity and quantum physics slowly turn all mass into faint streams of particles.

A remarkably clean gravitational-wave detection has confirmed long-standing predictions about black holes, including ...

This temporal lag is a direct consequence of Albert Einstein’s Theory of General Relativity. The rule is simple: the weaker ...

This means that, due to time dilation, you would age faster on Mars than on Earth. If you were to spend a whole 50 years on the Red Planet, you’d end up a whole 9 seconds older than if you had stayed ...

"A three-body problem is extremely complicated. Now we're dealing with four: the sun, Earth, the moon and Mars. The heavy ...

Mars clocks tick faster than Earth’s! Discover the groundbreaking findings that could revolutionize space exploration.

Standing in the elevator of a towering skyscraper, you might wonder if your journey upward changes more than just your view.

We don’t often think about gravity, the invisible force that anchors us to Earth, as it always seems constant and dependable. However, it will slightly vary, sometimes by enough to make you weigh ...

TL;DR: Astronomers recorded the largest black hole flare ever, caused by a supermassive black hole 10 billion light years away consuming a massive star. This tidal disruption event emitted energy ...

In Interstellar, Miller’s planet orbits close to the black hole Gargantua, where gravity is so strong that time runs much slower. This is gravitational time dilation, a prediction of Einstein’s ...
