This black hole triple system, V404 Cygni, located about 8,000 light-years away in the Milky Way galaxy, is already well-known to scientists.. Discovered in 1992, it was one of the first objects ...

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 ...

They found that a black hole formed through the direct collapse of a gas cloud would need to feed at the Eddington Limit for its entire history to reach the mass of the one in UHZ1.

Just three numbers—that’s all it takes to completely, unequivocally, 100 percent describe a black hole in general relativity. If I tell you the mass, electric charge, and spin (i.e., angular ...

One of my favorite celestial objects in the universe is the black hole. Granted, I'm an astrophysicist. But I know I'm not alone. People love black holes. They seem to hold a near-mythic status in ...

Astronomers have seen the largest jets ever found erupting from a black hole. The giant jet system Porphyrion is 23 million light-years long, equal to 140 side-by-side Milky Way galaxies.

A NASA video reveals in stunning detail what falling into a black hole would look like. A NASA astrophysicist used Einstein's general theory of relativity to simulate the wild ride. The black hole ...

An elusive type of black hole has been discovered in a neighboring galaxy for the first time, according to a new study based on observations from the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO’s ...
