Centuries before anyone pointed a telescope at the sky, Isaac Newton figured out how gravity works. He showed that any object ...

New observations of M87*, the first black hole ever imaged, revealed that the supermassive blackhole has experienced several magnetic flips in the last decade. Reading time: Reading time 3 minutes In ...

It’s possible that these objects might be the primordial beginnings of the supermassive black holes found in the centers of ...

A supermassive black hole lurking at the center of M87, a supergiant galaxy 55 million light-years from Earth, is acting far more strangely than anticipated. Since 2017, astronomers from the Event ...

AI has helped astronomers crack open some of the universe s best-kept secrets by analyzing massive datasets about black holes. Using over 12 million simulations powered by high-throughput computing, ...

Theoretical physicist Alex Lupsasca is pushing for a space telescope to glimpse the thin ring of light that is thought to surround every black hole.

The first black hole images stunned the world in 2019, with headlines announcing evidence of a glowing doughnut-shaped object from the center of galaxy Messier 87 (M87 —55 million light years from ...

For the first time, scientists have the calculations and simulations to explain mysterious flashes from the galaxy OJ 287.

"This tells us that the magnetized plasma swirling near the event horizon is far from static; it's dynamic and complex, pushing our theoretical models to the limit." The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) ...

Some things in cosmology may simply be unknowable. Why is there something rather than nothing? What lies outside the universe? What is inside a black hole? That last one has been niggling at ...

Scientists have created an optical device capable of mimicking black holes and the still hypothetical white holes. This system could revolutionize our understanding of the Universe and lead to ...
