Here's a simulation of what the Event Horizon Team thought the black hole would look like. And here's the real image. The light you see here is what's called the accretion disk. It's a disk of ...

Image of the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration "has uncovered strong and organised magnetic fields spiralling from its edge," ...

After taking the first images of black holes, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is poised to reveal how black holes launch powerful jets into space. Now, a research team led by Anne-Kathrin Baczko ...

By reducing these scattering effects, the EHT can now observe structures as intricate as photon rings, which form when light ...

From a telescope network that spans much of the globe to a psychology study that spans 67 countries, here are the biggest ...

In 1974, Stephen Hawking put forward an intriguing idea: Using the principles of quantum physics, he predicted that even though nothing is supposed to escape a black hole's event horizon ...

The James Webb Space Telescope spotted the black hole as it appeared just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang, and it was gobbling material 40 times faster than its theoretical feeding limit (called ...

Otherwise, it is quite uneventful at the event horizon; you could fly through it and not hit anything. All these definitions are correct; they describe a black hole. Its properties are curious and yet ...

It comes from the same team of over 300 international scientists at the Event Horizon Telescope that has already produced: The first-ever image of a black hole’s event horizon in 2018 (M87).
