The image of supermassive black hole Sagittarius A * was created using data from the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration.
Researchers used an AI model to create a new image of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way, with some concern from ...
A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge ...
When any object gets close to a supermassive black hole, it's typically ensnared in a powerful gravitational pull. That's due to the event horizon – a theoretical boundary known as the "point of ...
Space-time curvature around a black hole might sound abstract, but understanding it is crucial to grasp the nature of these cosmic giants. Using the Schwarzschild metric, we can model how gravity ...
In 2019, the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration released the first image of a supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy M87. In 2022, they presented an image of the black hole in our ...
The Event Horizon black hole project performed more than 12 million computing jobs in the past three years. "A workload that consists of millions of simulations is a perfect match for our ...
Black holes are invisible, yet they are among the brightest things in the universe. If a star wanders too close to a black hole, it gets torn apart in a fireworks show called a tidal disruption event.
Using a neural network trained with simulations of supermassive black holes, astronomers have found that the one at the center of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A*, likely rotates at maximum speed.
But what happens inside a black hole, beyond the event horizon from which nothing can escape, remains a mystery. In 1965, the British physicist Roger Penrose proved that under very general conditions, ...
