The image of supermassive black hole Sagittarius A * was created using data from the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration.

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 ...

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 ...

An international team of researchers used multi-wavelength observations of active galactic nuclei to study how black holes launch relativistic jets. The sixteen sources were observed with the ...

If true, every black hole would become a wormhole, otherwise known as an Einstein-Rosen bridge, leading to a new universe on the other side of the event horizon.

In 2017, the team first used EHT telescopes to peer at the dust-obscured heart of a distant galaxy, where black hole jets are formed and accelerated.

Challenge: Handling massive amounts of space data M87 is a supermassive black hole, about 6 billion times the mass of our sun. Still, it is hard to spot. Its event horizon is about the size of our ...

The supermassive black hole M87* seen two ways in two simulated images. The 345 GHz view is on the right, and represents the newest capability of the Event Horizon Telescope.

Astronomers investigated an active supermassive black hole at the heart of Perseus A using the Event Horizon Telescope, spotting an epic battle between gravity and magnetism. When you purchase ...
