Latest about Black Holes
Epic NASA video takes you to the heart of a black hole — and destroys you in seconds
What would it be like to fall past the event horizon of a black hole? A new NASA simulation provides a peek into the bizarre physics of spaghettification.
Black hole 'traffic jams' are forcing cosmic monsters to collide, new study finds
Supermassive black holes may create conditions akin to "cosmic intersections with failed traffic lights" that make collisions between smaller stellar-mass black holes inevitable.
Explosive black hole flare from the center of our galaxy reconstructed from 'a single flickering pixel' using AI and Einstein's equations
An explosive flare from the Milky Way's central black hole has been translated from 'a single flickering pixel' into a detailed 3D model using AI and Einstein's general relativity equations.
Most massive stellar black hole in the Milky Way discovered 'extremely close' to Earth
Astronomers found the most massive stellar-mass black hole in the galaxy after spotting a star "wobbling" nearby. The baby monster is the 2nd-closest black hole to Earth ever detected.
Some stars may be 'infected' with black holes that destroy them from within, new study hints
Could dark matter be made of mini black holes that formed in the early universe? One way to find out is to look for missing stars, destroyed by primordial black holes, a new study suggests.
Milky Way's monster black hole may be shooting superheated jets into our galaxy, groundbreaking images reveal
A new polarized light image of the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* has given us our first clear look at the magnetic field of the cosmic juggernaut, which suggests that it may have superheated jets just like even larger black holes.
1st detection of 'hiccupping' black hole leads to surprising discovery of 2nd black hole orbiting around it
Scientists found a monster black hole that 'hiccups' every 8.5 days, and a smaller black hole that keeps punching through its accretion disk may be to blame.
Scientists reveal largest map of the universe's active supermassive black holes ever created
A massive new 3D map of space includes more than 1 million supermassive black hole-powered quasars, which are among the brightest objects in the universe.
