For years, we’ve been told that black holes are the ultimate cosmic vacuum cleaners. Once something crosses its event horizon, it’s gone for good. No one can see inside, and nothing, not even light, ...

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, ...

Ever since humans first gazed up at the night sky, the Universe has filled us with awe and wonder. Lately, however, it's also ...

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 ...

How confusing inevitability with reality built decades of paradox. What if general relativity never actually tells us that ...

The first black hole images stunned the world in 2019, with headlines announcing evidence of a glowing doughnut-shaped object from the center of galaxy Messier 87 (M87 —55 million light years from ...

A detailed suite of simulations conducted by astrophysicists at the Flatiron Institute and their collaborators showed that magnetic fields can produce black holes with masses that were previously ...

Two clashing ideas about disorder inside black holes now point to the same strange conclusions, and it could reshape the ...

In the end, the Universe becomes a place where gravity and quantum physics slowly turn all mass into faint streams of particles.
