A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge ...

Chandra X-ray Observatory observations of the Perseus galaxy cluster black hole and M87's jet have been turned into sound by ...

Using the XMM-Newton telescope, astronomers have witnessed high-speed "burps" erupting from a distant overfeeding ...

Chandra X-ray Observatory observations of the Perseus galaxy cluster's black hole and M87's jet have been turned into sound by SYSTEM Sounds. The Chandra team explains how it was done.

The monster black hole lurking at the center of galaxy M87 is an absolute beast. It is one of the largest in our vicinity and was the ideal first target for the Event Horizon Telescope. Scientists ...

A new quantum recipe for black holes could be the first step toward a theory of "quantum gravity", the "holy grail" of ...

Looking into the heart of galaxy M87 feels like staring into a cosmic engine. A black hole, unimaginably large and powerful, sits at its centre, spinning at furious speed. Now, new analysis of the ...

The study focused on two black holes — our galaxy's Sgr A* and M87*, located 55 million light-years away. Both were previously imaged by the global EHT project.

The colossal black hole lurking at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is spinning almost as fast as its maximum rotation rate ...

They also looked at M87*, the black hole at the center of M87. Among other things, they found that this black hole is also spinning fast, but not as fast as Sagittarius A*.

Using a neural network trained with simulations of supermassive black holes, astronomers have found that the one at the ...

From this, they calculated M87*’s spin parameter, a measure of how fast a black hole is rotating. The result: 0.8 on a scale from 0 to 1, with 1 being the theoretical maximum.
