Scientists used changes in the supermassive black hole M87*'s accretion disk to infer its orientation, size and turbulence ...

What exists at the core of a black hole? A research team led by Enrico Rinaldi, a physicist at the University of Michigan, ...

Black holes that have been obscured by clouds of dust still emit infrared light, enabling astronomers to spot them for the ...

As it circles closer and closer to the black hole, they hypothesize, those pulses speed up. Now, the white dwarf might be orbiting within millions of miles of the black hole’s event horizon ...

MIT astronomers have been captivated by the strange behaviors of a supermassive black located 270 million light-years away, ...

dragging the object closer to the black hole. As it circles closer, the white dwarf moves at a faster rate, which can explain the increasing frequency of X-ray oscillations that the team observed.

The black hole, with an official name of 1ES 1927+654, is located in the distant constellation Draco. Astronomers have been monitoring the black hole for years, primarily since 2018 when the mass ...

Jets blasting from supermassive black holes cause gas to cool and fall toward that cosmic titan in a cosmic feeding process.

A "missing link" black hole in Omega Centauri is still missing. What appeared to be an intermediate-mass black hole was a cluster of stellar-mass black holes. New research may have delivered bad ...

Black holes themselves emit no light, but the supermassive black holes at the centers of galaxies are often surrounded by huge clouds of material. It's this material, heated by friction and gravity as ...

Collaboration published the first image of a black hole, of M87* from the center of the galaxy M87. The measurement data on which the image was based was obtained in 2017. The EHT Collaboration has ...
