Astronomers have discovered a black hole that released energy equivalent to 10,000 billion suns. But many mysteries surround this unique event, and further studies will need to be conducted.
Physicists from Goethe University Frankfurt and the Tsung-Dao Lee Institute in Shanghai have taken a new approach to one of the most profound mysteries in science: whether all black holes conform to Einstein’s theory of general relativity…
Learn what a black hole is, how it forms, and how astronomers detect it. Understand the science behind black holes and their role in shaping the universe.
Black holes are considered cosmic gluttons, from which not even light can escape. That is also why the images of black holes at the center of the galaxy M87 and our Milky Way, published a few years ago by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT)…
The Chancellor could plug a £50 billion black hole in the nation’s public finances, with a 2p hike to income tax, a major economic think tank has warned.
Black hole images may test competing gravity theories. A new method uses simulations to check if they follow Einstein or alternatives with future sharper telescopes.
Astronomers have observed the brightest black hole flare ever recorded, a cosmic explosion that blazed with the energy of 10 trillion suns after a supermassive black hole tore apart and consumed a giant star, according to a report by Space…
A peculiar object discovered by the James Webb Space Telescope just 700 million years after the Big Bang could reveal the origins of the earliest black holes in the universe, some experts say.
What would a human see and feel while falling into a black hole? In this exclusive excerpt of his new book, "Facing Infinity," author and astrophysicist Jonas Enander tells us in terrifying detail.
