Some black hole pairs roll around each other in wobbly, egg-shaped orbits that could hold clues about their origins, gravitational wave measurements suggest.
The spacecraft XRISM has examined light from a distant galaxy that houses a supermassive black hole to determine the fate of matter in the void's gravitational thrall.
NASA’s new black hole visualizations simulate the dramatic effects of crossing the event horizon, highlighting the severe distortions in space-time and the eventual spaghettification near...
NASA has released new images that shed light on the eating habits of supermassive black holes. NASA has released new images that shed light on the eating habits of supermassive black holes, drawing on data from the retired Spitzer Space…
Hubble’s image of NGC 4951 highlights its bright spiral arms and active galactic nucleus, providing critical data for studying galaxy evolution. Bright, starry spiral arms...
Researchers are hoping that new images from NASA can help explain the voracious appetites of black holes and give scientists new information about some of the massive and largely unexplained regions of gravity.
The NHS trust which runs the Queen's Medical Centre and City Hospital, spent £71m more than expected over the last 12 months as a result of rising costs, strikes and growing demand
Primordial black holes left over from the Big Bang and no wider than a dime could be a prime target for NASA's Nancy Grace Roman Telescope after it launches in 2026.
In images from NASA's retired Spitzer Space Telescope, streams of dust thousands of light-years long flow toward the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Andromeda galaxy. It turns out these streams can help explain how black holes…
Supermassive black holes are capable of violently devouring entire stars, and warping the very fabric of spacetime with their near incomprehensible mass and gravitational influence. Now, a new set of NASA supercomputer simulations is…
Ever wonder what happens when you fall into a black hole? Now, thanks to a new, immersive visualization produced on a NASA supercomputer, viewers can plunge into the event horizon, a black hole's point of no return.
Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have separated the light of a quasar from the light of its surrounding stars, offering unprecedented insight into how the universe's oldest black holes grew.
With the help of a supercomputer, NASA produced an immersive simulation of the journey inside a black hole. Continue reading the article to learn more.
When astrophysicists observe the cosmos, they see different types of black holes. They range from gargantuan supermassive black holes with billions of solar masses to difficult-to-find intermediate-mass black holes (IMBHs) all the way down…
