Black holes are as dangerous as they are distant, so scientists set out to simulate one in a lab. What happened next would ...

In a groundbreaking follow-up to their 2019 reveal of the first black hole image, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) team has ...

Astronomers studying elusive supermassive black ... Event Horizon Telescope, an expanded version of EHT that astronomers hope will capture not just images but also videos of black holes.

The Event Horizon Telescope captured the first image of the Milky Way galaxy's supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* — our ...

New quantum computing research reveals that black holes may not have chaotic singularities but structured quantum states, ...

Any object that falls past a black hole's point-of-no-return, called the event horizon, isn't coming back. That includes light. "This would be the closest thing we know of around any black hole." ...

“This tells us that objects like white dwarfs may be able to live very close to an event horizon for a relatively extended period of time.” The black hole, the official name of which is a ...

The first image of M87* — and humanity's first image of any black hole, for that matter — was taken by the EHT in 2017 and released to the public in 2019. It was notable for its bright golden ring, ...

Black holes are ultra-dense objects with gravitational fields so fierce that not even light can escape their bounds beyond a point called the event horizon. In the artist’s concept at the ...

Astrophysical jets from black holes play a key role in cosmic evolution, impacting star formation and revealing insights ...

"Seeing something in the X-rays is already telling you you're pretty close to the black hole," Kara says. "When you see variability on the timescale of minutes, that's close to the event horizon ...

This suggests that, rather than using their gravitational pull to passively feed on anything that tips over the event horizon, black holes play a fairly active role in their own mealtimes.
