X-ray space telescopes caught a supermassive blackhole flinging matter into space at a fifth of the speed of light ...
NASA offers a 360° virtual reality simulation to experience what falling into a black hole might be like, including time distortion and spaghettification. The simulation provides a surreal, eerie ...
An ultramassive black hole so huge it could swallow 30 billion suns has emerged from the cosmic background, revealed not by ...
"This tells us that the magnetized plasma swirling near the event horizon is far from static; it's dynamic and complex, pushing our theoretical models to the limit." The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) ...
The supermassive black hole is that first one that astronomers ever photographed. For more than a century, astronomers have marveled at the brilliant jet of matter blasting from the heart of the giant ...
When scientists discovered an enormous black hole thousands of light-years from where it ought to be in space, they knew they had a cosmic oddity on their hands. NASA's Hubble Space Telescope showed a ...
In this handout photo provided by the National Science Foundation, the Event Horizon Telescope captures a black hole at the center of galaxy M87 in an image released on April 10, 2019. (Photo by ...
Astronomers have detected the signal of a colossal black hole in deep space that likely formed when two already-large black holes crashed into each other billions of light-years away. The result is a ...
The following is an extract from our Lost in Space-Time newsletter. Each month, we hand over the keyboard to a physicist or mathematician to tell you about fascinating ideas from their corner of the ...
Exploring the BTZ black hole in (2+1)-dimensional gravity took me down a fascinating rabbit hole, connecting ideas I never expected—like black holes and topological phases in quantum matter! When I ...
Some things in cosmology may simply be unknowable. Why is there something rather than nothing? What lies outside the universe? What is inside a black hole? That last one has been niggling at ...
