Astronomers have obtained the sharpest-ever X-ray spectrum of an iconic active galaxy, providing the most accurate, precise ...

Astronomers used the XRISM mission to separate signals and analyze the extreme gravitational forces at work in active ...

Astronomers have seen spacetime itself wobble near a spinning black hole for the first time. The discovery, revealed during a star’s destruction, confirms a major prediction of Einstein’s theory of ...

Our galaxy's supermassive black hole is famous for being one of the dimmest in the universe. Evidence from a new space ...

Astronomers have decoded the hidden past of a distant red giant star by listening to tiny vibrations in its light, revealing ...

Some discoveries arrive quietly, without fireworks or clean endings. Astronomers were watching a distant flare from a galaxy ...

Astronomers have detected spacetime itself being dragged and twisted by a spinning black hole for the first time. The discovery, seen during a star’s violent destruction, confirms a prediction made ...

When a star gets too close to a black hole, the gravity of the black hole changes what happens next in really big ways. They give us a chance to see h.

A star’s fatal brush with a supermassive black hole can light up a quiet galaxy. When gravity shreds the star, its gas ...

Cutting-edge supercomputer simulations reveal intricate processes around black holes, improving our understanding of ...

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

A UK-based research project, TomoGrav, will produce the first 3D movies of black holes, mapping plasma flows and gravity in real time using advanced AI and global telescope networks.
