In 2020 a team led by European Southern Observatory (ESO) astronomers reported the closest black hole to Earth, located just 1000 light-years away in the…
A supermassive black hole 9 billion light-years away appears to have a companion black hole orbiting around it. As the orbit shrinks, the pair gets…
Researchers from the University of Turku, Finland, found that the axis of rotation of a black hole in a binary system is tilted more than…
Astronomers find evidence for the tightest-knit supermassive black hole duo observed to date. Two supermassive black holes that are 9 billion light-years apart from one…
Every galaxy, including our own Milky Way, has at its center a massive black hole whose gravity influences the stars around it. Generally, the stars…
An international team of astronomers led by Violeta Gámez Rosas (Leiden University) has observed a supermassive black hole hidden in a ring of dust. This…
Astronomers have been using gravitational waves to detect merging black holes for years now, but may have to rely on pulsars – rapidly spinning neutron…
Astronomers are increasingly drawing back the curtains on black holes. In the past few years, we have finally captured actual photos of these fearsome creatures…
The European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope Interferometer (ESO’s VLTI) has observed a cloud of cosmic dust at the center of the galaxy Messier 77…
One of the major issues in general relativity that separates it from other descriptions of the universe, like quantum physics, is the existence of singularities….
Astronomers famously snapped the first-ever direct image of a black hole in 2019, thanks to material glowing in its presence. But many black holes are…
Dude, what if everything around us was just … a hologram? The thing is, it could be—and a University of Michigan physicist is using quantum…
Microlensing strikes again. Astronomers have been using the technique to detect everything from rogue planets to the most distant star ever seen. Now, astronomers have…
Largest-ever simulations suggest flickering powered by magnetic ‘reconnection.’ Researchers at the Flatiron Institute and their collaborators found that breaking and reconnecting magnetic field lines near…
The discovery, one of the only confirmed intermediate-mass black holes, lives in an equally rare object known as a low-mass, stripped nucleus. Astronomers discovered a…
Findings by the Center for Computational Relativity and Gravitation published in Nature Astronomy. For the first time, scientists believe they have detected a merger of…
New research suggests alternative explanations for the massive compact object at the center of the galaxy M87 questioning if this could contain gravitomagnetic monopole. The…
