Could Mysterious Black Hole Burps Rewrite Physics?

Supermassive black holes exist at the hearts of most, if not all, galaxies, with masses of millions or even billions of times that of the sun.In some cases, these black holes are surrounded by ...

Almost every large galaxy has a supermassive black hole at its center. An international research team has recently observed the Circinus galaxy, which is one of the closest galaxies to the Milky ...

Focus on the X-Ray Radiation From Accretion Disks. When a massive star falls into a mass concentration so dense that light cannot escape its gravitational pull, the result is a black hole.

The black hole at the heart of SDSS1335+0728—a distant galaxy 300 million light-years away—was found to have produced flashes of light known as quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs).

An illustration of a black hole accretion disk glowing with radiation. New research suggests that elusive black hole radiation, known as Hawking radiation, may have altered the shape of our ...

Izumi and his colleagues initially captured, for the first time, the accretion flow heading towards the supermassive black hole within the high-density gas disk that extends over several light ...

A black hole is a terrifying concept, but the mysterious nexus of physics and space-time isn’t always gobbling up matter. While famous for devouring anything and everything in its gravitational ...

The glowing accretion disc around the black hole Sagittarius A*, at the centre of the Milky Way, was imaged in 2022. ( Supplied: EHT Collaboration ) Five years of flickering black holes ...

The jet is likely produced by the fact that the accretion disk around the black hole doesn’t spin as fast as the black hole itself. A lot about black holes , we currently take on faith—and on ...
