Event Horizon Telescope data reveal the magnetic field around M87* shifted, weakened and then flipped, defying theoretical expectations.

Physicists have analyzed two enormous black hole mergers that happened one month apart and have come up with tantalizing ...

A black hole’s bizarre "heartbeat" is forcing astronomers to reconsider how these cosmic heavyweights behave. Observations of IGR J17091-3624 — a black hole in a binary system roughly 28,000 ...

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration, with a substantial contribution from the Max Planck Institute for Radio Astronomy (MPIfR), has unveiled new, detailed images of the supermassive black ...

In a major leap forward, scientists, using the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), have captured the sharpest images yet of distant galactic centers. Using light at a frequency of 345 GHz, they’ve peered ...

Researchers believe the 'ultramassive' black hole is big enough to be the largest of its kind ever detected. Black holes are regions of space where the pull of gravity is so intense that even light ...

A black hole analog could tell us a thing or two about an elusive radiation theoretically emitted by the real thing. Using a chain of atoms in single file to simulate the event horizon of a black hole ...

Scientists say they detected the largest-ever merger of two black holes, forming one that is 225 times the mass of the sun, adding that the new discovery "pushes the limits of" how astronomers ...

It sounds like science fiction: a spacecraft, no heavier than a paperclip, propelled by a laser beam and hurtling through space at the speed of light toward a black hole, on a mission to probe the ...

Astronomers have discovered the oldest and most distant black hole — a behemoth that likely formed at the dawn of the universe, more than 13 billion years ago. The black hole lies at the center of a ...
