"We hypothesize that the ring image resulted from errors during EHT's imaging analysis and that part of it was an artifact, ...

Astronomers have stumbled upon something truly remarkable: a black hole that's not just part of a binary system, but part of ...

Black holes exert a tremendous influence on their surroundings, meaning that when they spin, they literally drag the very fabric of space and time around with them. That means nothing can sit still ...

A team of U.S. astronomers discovered a supermassive black hole that is consuming matter at a phenomenal rate—40x the ...

"We've never been able to do this before for an old black hole," Burdge said. "Now we know V404 Cygni is part of a triple, it ...

Most of the black holes that scientists have detected appear to be part of a pair called a binary system. These systems are made up of the black hole and a secondary object like a star ...

Stellar-mass black holes typically form after a star goes supernova and collapses. However, the discovery of the first-ever triple black hole system, V404 Cygni, complicates that picture. This black ...

Many black holes detected to date appear to be part of a pair. These binary systems comprise a black hole and a secondary object—such as a star, a much denser neutron star, or another black hole ...

Your support makes all the difference. Many of the black holes previously found are thought to be part of a pair. Those pairs form when a black holes becomes entwined with another object – such ...

A surprising discovery about the black hole V404 Cygnus is expanding our understanding of black holes, the objects they can host, and the way they form. Many black holes detected to date appear to ...

A team of astrophysicists, led by scholars from the Institute for Advanced Study, has developed an innovative technique to ...
