The scientists who precisely measure the position of Earth are in a bit of trouble. Their measurements are essential for the ...

Could Mysterious Black Hole Burps Rewrite Physics?

Using machine learning to analyse data from the Event Horizon Telescope, researchers found the black hole at the centre of ...

Black holes aren't just monsters; they are also creators. Lesson Three: Do your thing, whether people get you or not The universe has existed for 13.8 billion years.

In 2018, a distant black hole threw a fit. The 1.4-million-solar-mass black hole at the center of the galaxy 1ES 1927+654 some 270 million light-years away suddenly began spewing radiation ...

The black hole is located in the early universe, existing just 800 million years after the big bang. It is also massive. At 400 million times the mass of our sun, ...

Teams of astronomers at Meyer's university and many other institutions have been keeping an eye on the black hole ever since. The vigilance paid off when, in April 2023, a team at the university ...

The black hole and event horizon concepts were born from the 1915 theory of gravity conceived by Albert Einstein known as general relativity and solutions to the tensor equations that define it.

The James Webb Space Telescope has shown that the Milky Way’s black hole is constantly blazing with light, releasing long flares as well as short flashes every day.

The type of black hole that’s sitting in the center of a galaxy is different. This is a supermassive black hole, or SMBH, and — as its name implies — it’s much heftier.

Primordial black holes could explain dark matter, galaxy growth and more A half-century-old, still-disputed idea about dense cosmic objects from the dawn of time could solve longstanding mysteries ...

But black holes are awfully messy eaters, leading to ejections of gas in potent "outflows." Yet this particular black hole, dubbed LID-568, is feeding ravenously on matter at a rate 40 times ...
