Black holes are among the most extreme objects in the universe, and now scientists can model them more accurately than ever before. By combining Einstein’s gravity with realistic behavior of light and ...

In observations conducted between April 5 and April 10, 2017, the team looked at the relativistic jet produced by OJ 287, a ...

A team of researchers recently reported the discovery of AT2024wpp, an extremely energetic event involving a black hole and a massive star locked in a deadly ...

Right at the brink of a black hole, gravity twists space and time so violently that ordinary physics starts to fall apart.

New XRISM X-ray observations reveal details of gas near a supermassive black hole in galaxy MCG–6-30-15, helping scientists better measure black hole spin and behavior ...

Astronomers saw past the blinding light of a quasar, only to find a supermassive black hole that's much smaller than theoretical predictions. Reading time 2 minutes All galaxies have a supermassive ...

They’re the boogeymen of science fiction, a paradox of science and quite possibly a key to understanding the universe. Scientists have been scrambling to understand the mysterious forces of black ...

Astronomers have uncovered a gargantuan black hole that appears to sit almost alone in space, with hardly any stars around it ...
