It’s the largest black hole jet we’ve discovered to date. What makes this particular jet so exciting for astronomers is not only its size. It’s also estimated to be 1.2 billion years old.

Plunging into a black hole reveals a breathtaking spectacle where intense gravity twists space-time and plasma disks blaze in vibrant blue, spinning nearly at light speed. Experience surreal ...

Accelerating close to the speed of light unleashes a breathtaking cascade of cosmic phenomena where space-time warps, stars shift colors, and optical illusions become reality. Watch as aberration ...

A theoretical physicist who wrote the Interstellar book released alongside Christopher Nolan's film has explained what really happens in the ending, as many of us still don't get it.. Kip Thorne ...

A team of astronomers led by Michael Janssen (Radboud University, The Netherlands) has trained a neural network with millions of synthetic black hole data sets. Based on the network and data from ...

In 2022, they presented the image of the black hole at the center of our Milky Way, Sagittarius A*. However, the data behind the images still contained a wealth of hard-to-crack information.

Why black holes explode stars. Supernova explosions cannot account for the energies involved. Even the mightiest supernova releases only a fraction of an ENT’s light. Ordinary black hole feeding ...

Astronomers have announced the discovery of Extreme Nuclear Transients, slow-motion cosmic blasts brighter than 100 supernovae caused by massive stars near black holes. Newsletters Games Share a ...

Scientists have identified a new class of cosmic explosions, dubbed "extreme nuclear transients" (ENTs), that represent the most energetic events observed in the universe, perhaps since the Big ...

Each of the supermassive black holes the researchers described lies at the center of a distant galaxy. And each were observed to have suddenly brightened for several months after shredding up a ...
