A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge computing. Scientists have used a powerful neural network trained with ...
Using the XMM-Newton telescope, astronomers have witnessed high-speed "burps" erupting from a distant overfeeding supermassive black hole.
Scientists have revealed they’ve seen the cosmic equivalent of this – two black holes merging on the outskirts of our galaxy.
Chandra X-ray Observatory observations of the Perseus galaxy cluster's black hole and M87's jet have been turned into sound ...
Caltech’s Katie Bouman explains how the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration captured the first imager of the Sagittarius A* Supermassive black hole at the core of the Milky Way galaxy - Milky Way vs ...
The colossal black hole lurking at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is spinning almost as fast as its maximum rotation rate.
Another difference is that the EHT observed M87 over six days in April 2017, giving a recent snapshot of the black hole. The Chandra observations investigate ejected material within the jet that was ...
Space is mostly quiet. Data collected by telescopes are most often turned into silent charts, plots, and images. A "sonification" project led by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Universe of ...
The new black hole has more than 200 times the mass of our sun – and is challenging theories of how objects form in space ...
The massive black hole has been dubbed GW231123. Its unusual size and behavior is challenging scientists' understanding of ...
A U.S. gravitational wave detector spotted a collision between fast-spinning “forbidden” black holes that challenge physics ...
