The Event Horizon Telescope project, the group that took the first-ever image of a black hole, has made another historic breakthrough, making the highest-ever resolution observations of space ...

Researchers have observed strange goings-on around a supermassive black hole located nearly 300 million light years away.

Teams of astronomers at Meyer's university and many other institutions have been keeping an eye on the black hole ever since. The vigilance paid off when, in April 2023, a team at the university ...

From extreme spacetime curvature to theoretical wormholes and white holes, this video explores the terrifying and fascinating physics of the universe’s most mysterious regions. Astrum ...

Any object that falls past a black hole's point-of-no-return, called the event horizon, isn't coming back. That includes light. "This would be the closest thing we know of around any black hole." ...

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 ...

This is extremely close to the black hole's event horizon," said Megan Masterson, a Massachusetts Institute of Technology doctoral student in physics and lead author of the study, opens new tab ...

That is because as the black hole drags the white dwarf inward, the dead star is shedding material. That is kicking it backward, keeping the white dwarf clear of the event horizon.

The white dwarf is practically at the precipice of no return and is estimated to be just a few million miles from the event horizon. However, the researchers predict that the star will not fall in.

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration has conducted test observations achieving the highest resolution ever obtained from the surface of the Earth, by detecting light from the centers of ...
