By zeroing in on the infrared scale, researchers offer details of the black hole jet stream in faraway galaxy M87.

Event Horizon Telescope data reveal the magnetic field around M87* shifted, weakened and then flipped, defying theoretical expectations.

Two recently observed black hole mergers, occurring just weeks apart in late 2024, have opened an extraordinary new window ...

Theoretical physicist Alex Lupsasca is pushing for a space telescope to glimpse the thin ring of light that is thought to surround every black hole.

Black holes are so strange that physicists have long wondered if they are quite what they seem. Now we are set to find out if ...

Earth would be torn apart if a black hole approached, losing its atmosphere and oceans, with debris forming an accretion disc around the black hole.

Astronomers have caught a runaway black hole in the act of tearing apart a star in a place it shouldn’t be: far from the bustling center of its host galaxy. The stellar catastrophe – known as a tidal ...

A new study may visually solve an enduring mystery about a bright object that's been studied since the 19th century ...
