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

A team of astronomers has revealed how black holes feed. The study, led by Valeria Olivares from University of Santiago de Chile, used data from Chandra X-ray Observatory and Very Large Telescope. The ...

The universe's most massive black holes fuel themselves by cooling gas around them, astronomers have found. Using data from NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Very Large Telescope (VLT) in Chile ...

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 ...

NASA has made the sound waves created by a supermassive black hole at the center of the Perseus galaxy cluster audible for ...

"Interestingly, the quasar powering this massive radio jet does not have an extreme black hole mass compared to other quasars." Astronomers have detected the largest black hole-launched jet ever ...

"Black holes really do sit at the frontier of human understanding." Scientists have discovered that some supermassive black holes rotate much more rapidly than expected. The discovery came as the ...

Jets from black holes trigger cooling in the hot gas, causing it to condense into warm filaments. These filaments then flow toward the black hole, feeding it, and the cycle repeats. Brightness ...

Using observations from 2017 and 2018, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration has advanced our understanding of the supermassive black hole at the center of Messier 87 (M87*). This study ...
