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 ...
The image of supermassive black hole Sagittarius A * was created using data from the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration.
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 ...
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 ...
A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge ...
In 2019, the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration released the first image of a supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy M87. In 2022, they presented an image of the black hole in our ...
In 2019, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration released the first image of a supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy M87.
Black holes are invisible, yet they are among the brightest things in the universe. If a star wanders too close to a black hole, it gets torn apart in a fireworks show called a tidal disruption event.
Of the various methods for investigating a black hole, the Event Horizon Telescope is the most famous. The EHT isn’t a single instrument but rather a number of radio telescopes around the world ...
But what happens inside a black hole, beyond the event horizon from which nothing can escape, remains a mystery. In 1965, the British physicist Roger Penrose proved that under very general conditions, ...
