A new form of black hole archeology, linking spin to gas and dust, has revealed that these cosmic titans spin faster than ...

There's a universe full of black holes out there, spinning merrily away—some fast, others more slowly. A recent survey of supermassive black holes reveals that their spin rates reveal something about ...

Gravitational waves are unlocking the origins of black holes, linking spin shifts to sequential mergers in star clusters.

Rather than relying on a cheek swab or a little blood, however, these cosmic DNA tests utilize tiny ripples in the fabric of ...

Recent research suggests that supermassive black holes' spin rates, linked to their formation history, indicate growth primarily through steady matter consumption rather than galaxy mergers.

Experts say they have found proof for the first time that black holes spin. The supermassive black hole is at the centre the Messier 87 (M87) galaxy which is 55 million light years from Earth and ...

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 ...

A new analysis of M87*, the first black hole imaged by humanity, has revealed turbulence in the matter around it, which this ...

Recent observations have revealed that a supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy is spinning rapidly, warping spacetime into an oval shape reminiscent of a football ...

A black hole infamous for strange features has once again baffled astronomers, this time with rapid X-ray flashes. What could they be?

Astronomers have witnessed a monster supermassive black hole erupting with a light-year-long jet traveling at one-third the speed of light. The size and spin of black holes can reveal how and ...
