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

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 ...

"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 ...

The DESI survey reveals that active black holes in small galaxies are common. The findings may help reveal how the two cosmic bodies evolve together.

What’s on the other side of a black hole? That’s one of the biggest mysteries in space science! Black holes are super strong gravity pits, so once anything crosses the "event horizon" (their point of ...

As we gaze into the universe, we've discovered most galaxies have a supermassive black hole lurking near the center.

Kurt Juarez is an undergraduate researcher pursuing a degree in mechanical engineering with an emphasis on robotics through ...

A recent study has proposed a new mechanism for the formation of primordial black holes that could provide answers about dark matter.

To measure the masses and spins of black holes, scientists want to follow clues left behind by light that takes a ...

Gas swirling around black holes forms disks that are among the most effective energy converters in the universe, emitting ...

This also suggests that the black hole may have gained a substantial part of its mass in a single episode of extremely rapid consumption. Lead author Dr Hyewon Suh: 'This serendipitous result ...
