NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) is the most advanced telescope ever constructed, designed for operation in deep space, approximately 1.5 million miles from Earth. The orbital observatory ...

Cosmologists have long treated black holes and the Big Bang as separate extremes of physics, one swallowing light, the other ...

Astronomers used the XRISM mission to separate signals and analyze the extreme gravitational forces at work in active ...

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 3 minutes In 2019, ...

Scientists are developing new methods to turn black hole images into time-resolved 3D movies, revealing how plasma, jets, and gravity behave near event horizons ...

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 ...

The Event Horizon Telescope, a network of radio antennae around the globe, has captured the first image of a black hole event horizon. This black hole is located in Messier 87, or M87, which is about ...

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 ...

A UK-based research project, TomoGrav, will produce the first 3D movies of black holes, mapping plasma flows and gravity in real time using advanced AI and global telescope networks.
