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 ...

The event horizon is a boundary that marks the outer edge of black holes. It is the point at which nothing, not even light, can escape.

By looking at radio waves and X-ray emissions, a team of physicists has found the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* to be spinning— and altering space-time around it.

The type of black hole that’s sitting in the center of a galaxy is different. This is a supermassive black hole, or SMBH, and — as its name implies — it’s much heftier.

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.

The James Webb Space Telescope has shown that the Milky Way’s black hole is constantly blazing with light, releasing long flares as well as short flashes every day.

Many, if not most, galaxies have a supermassive black hole at their core, including the Milky Way. Our galaxy's supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*, has about 4.3 million times the mass of our ...

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.

A black hole is a region of spacetime where gravity is so intense that nothing, no matter how much energy it has, can escape.Inside the event horizon, gravity supersedes all other forces of nature.

And even though GN-z11’s black hole is currently accreting at a high rate, researchers can’t determine whether it started as a lower-mass black hole or one of the massive ones created through ...

But the black hole in VFTS 243 appears to have collapsed without exploding at all. A curiosity, but not without precedent. "In the last 10 years or so, ...

Recent measurements1,2,3,4 of the velocities of stars near the centre of the Milky Way have provided the strongest evidence for the presence of a supermassive black hole in a galaxy5, but the ...
