It’s the largest black hole jet we’ve discovered to date. What makes this particular jet so exciting for astronomers is not only its size. It’s also estimated to be 1.2 billion years old.

Astronomers have discovered a massive black hole jet that is three times bigger than the Milky Way. The jet is known as Quasar J1601+3102, and it was first spotted by astronomers using the Low ...

A black hole is a region of space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape. At its core is a point called a singularity, surrounded by a boundary called the event horizon.

Black holes are invisible, yet they are among the brightest things in the universe. If a star wanders too close to a black hole, it gets torn apart in a fireworks show called a tidal disruption ...

NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has detected powerful black hole jets emanating from a galaxy 11.6 billion light-years away. These jets, formed durin ...

Sagittarius A* is spinning near top speed with its rotation axis pointing towards Earth. Event Horizon black hole project executed over 12 million computing jobs using distributed computing.

In 2022, they presented an image of the black hole in our Milky Way, Sagittarius A*. However, the data behind the images still contained a wealth of hard-to-crack information.

The Star and the Black Hole The team at the University of Hawai'i knew the phenomena they were observing weren't supernovae and were curious as to what they were looking at and how these events ...

In response, the black hole slowly drains the life out of the star, creating a bright, energy surge unlike anything we’ve ever observed before. “We’ve observed stars getting ripped apart as tidal ...

The standard model of cosmology may be the best explanation we've got for why the universe is the way it is and how it all came to be. But it's not the only explanation. Enter black hole cosmology ...

For years, scientists have theorized that some black holes could actually be wormholes, and a new study shows that this space-time mimicry could in fact be possible.

Attorney General John Jeremie has disclosed that a $200 million “black hole” in legal fees exists at his ministry, which has prompted him to immediately halt the submission of new ...
