Since the 1970s, astronomers have predicted that Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way, ...

Most cosmologists believe that these stars were the first large, free-floating structures to illuminate our universe, and ...

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

The polarity of a supermassive black hole lurking at the center of M87, a galaxy 55 million light-years from Earth, ...

Image of the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration "has ...

The polarization pattern around M87* — the first black hole to be directly imaged by the Event Horizon Telescope — has ...

A new analysis argues that the Milky Way’s central black hole, Sagittarius A*, spins at maximum velocity with its axis aimed almost directly at Earth. The result emerges from a machine learning read ...

Scientists are exploring a laser-powered nanocraft that could reach a black hole in decades, potentially transforming our understanding of spacetime. Credit: SciTechDaily.com A visionary concept ...

In a new paper published in the journal iScience, an astrophysicist from Fudan University discusses the possibility of sending a nanocraft to a black hole at 20-25 light-years from Earth to test the ...

A visionary plan proposes sending a paperclip-sized spacecraft, powered by Earth-based lasers, to a nearby black hole within a century. Led by astrophysicist Cosimo Bambi, the mission would test the ...

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 new paper sketches a daring plan: launch a wafer-sized spacecraft toward the nearest black hole and let it report back on the most extreme physics in the cosmos. The author, astrophysicist Cosimo ...
