A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge ...

NASA’s Chandra captured black hole over 300,000 light years away Astronomers focused on two supermassive black holes, one is J1405+0415 and another is J1610+1811 Each of them is releasing jets ...

An accretion disk is a structure formed by matter orbiting a massive central object, such as a black hole. This matter, primarily gas and dust, is drawn by the central object's gravity and accumulates ...

A supermassive black hole that scientists have nicknamed “Ansky” has awakened after a long dormant period, and is now emitting powerful X-ray flares from across deep space. Most galaxies have a ...

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 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).

This was true of the black hole at the heart of SDSS1335+0728, a distant and unremarkable galaxy 300 million light-years away in the constellation of Virgo.

The accretion disk around a black hole can form a jet of hot, energetic particles surrounded by magnetic field lines. NASA, ESA, and A. Feild (STScI), CC BY These jets can speed up or suppress the ...

In MAD (magnetically arrested disk) models, however, magnetic fields can be stronger and play a dominant role in shaping a black hole’s accretion disk, corralling the plasma into more orderly ...

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 ...

A black hole is an object so massive that it warps the fabric of space-time, and its gravity is so strong that not even light can escape from it. The 60 Best Sci-Fi Movies of All Time UK's biggest ...
