The image of supermassive black hole Sagittarius A * was created using data from the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration.

Astronomers used AI and high-throughput computing to analyse Event Horizon Telescope data on black holes. Sagittarius A* is spinning near top speed with its rotation axis pointing towards Earth ...

The black hole couldn’t handle all the material it had pulled in, so it expelled some of it in a powerful outflow. This outflow was moving at 27% the speed of light, or about 80,000 kilometers ...

From Frederick Douglass to Ida B. Wells to Darnella Frazier, Black witnesses have long used journalism as a tool for survival and transformation. Latino mobile journalists are building on that ...

An artist’s impression of a tidal disruption event, in which a star is spaghettified and the remains form an accretion disk around the black hole. Typically, about half the star’s mass is drawn into ...

The colossal black hole lurking at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is spinning almost as fast as its maximum rotation rate. That's just one thing astrophysicists have discovered after developing ...

There are objects in our universe so dense that not even light escapes through them. These oddities, known as supermassive black holes, can weigh billions of times more than our sun. Scientists have ...

Black holes are invisible, yet they are among the brightest things in the universe. If a star wanders too close to a black hole, it gets torn apart in a fireworks show called a tidal disruption ...

A black hole jet from the Centaurus A galaxy is "hitting something along its path," that is baffling astronomers. The Chandra X-ray Telescop team takes you on a tour of the system. Credit: NASA ...

Aesop Rock, Black Hole Superette (Rhymesayers) Aesop Rock has been making what was once considered “experimental” hip hop for so long now that all that’s left from album to album is pure outcome, ...

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.
