A new image of M87 shows and confirms for the first time the feeding ring and jet of its supermassive black hole.

Astronomers have finally captured a black hole twisting the very fabric of spacetime. This phenomenon, known as ...

A violent stellar disruption recorded in 2024 has given astronomers their most comprehensive evidence yet of a black hole ...

Using cutting-edge algorithms and exascale supercomputers, researchers have created the most realistic simulations yet of matter flowing into black holes. Building on decades of research, a group of c ...

The borderlands of black holes ought to be chaotic spaces where the rate at which matter is drawn across into oblivion is ...

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 ...

Astronomers analyzing data from an array of telescopes — including the W. M. Keck Observatory atop Mauna Kea on the Big ...

Black holes — remnants of collapsed stars — have immense mass that curves spacetime so all paths lead inward. They also ...

One of the most powerful objects in the universe is a radio quasar — a spinning black hole spraying out highly energetic particles. Come too close to one, and you'd get sucked in by its gravitational ...

Black hole accretion processes remain at the forefront of astrophysical research, offering critical insights into how matter is captured by these extreme objects. Accretion occurs when gas, dust, and ...

In one of the most fascinating globular clusters in the Milky Way, Omega Centauri, astronomers have long suspected the ...
