But in the past two decades, new types of black holes have been seen and astronomers are beginning to understand how they ...

The image of supermassive black hole Sagittarius A * was created using data from the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration.

We measure the extremely long distances between things in space by light years. A light year is the distance that light travels in one Earth year. Light travels at about 300,000 kilometres per second.

Imagine if a species grew up on a planet that had a black hole moon the mass of the moon. They’d have tides, they’d have an unobstructed view of the night sky, and they’d have no clue about this ...

A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge computing. Scientists have used a powerful neural network trained with ...

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

These are rare occurrences—scientists estimate that the giant black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy gobbles a star ...

A never-before-seen type of giant space explosion – the biggest bangs since the Big Bang – has been accidentally captured by the Gaia space telescope.

Astronomers at the University of Hawaii uncovered black hole events so packed with energy, they were the biggest explosions ...

Astronomers take first step toward multicolor black hole observations with Event Horizon Telescope by Harvard-Smithsonian Center for Astrophysics edited by Lisa Lock, reviewed by Robert Egan ...

If true, every black hole would become a wormhole, otherwise known as an Einstein-Rosen bridge, leading to a new universe on the other side of the event horizon.

Astronomers are now confident the Event Horizon Telescope can help them decode elusive origins of black hole jets.
