Here's a simulation of what the Event Horizon Team thought the black hole would look like. And here's the real image. The light you see here is what's called the accretion disk. It's a disk of ...

An international team of researchers used multi-wavelength observations of active galactic nuclei to study how black holes ...

Despite the bounce and subsequent expansion, nothing can leave the event horizon, so it expands into a new region of ...

Could our galaxy actually be inside a black hole? New research seems to suggest this possibility. NASA's James Webb Telescope ...

By reducing these scattering effects, the EHT can now observe structures as intricate as photon rings, which form when light ...

Black holes have two parts. There is the event horizon, which you can think of as the surface, though it’s simply the point where the gravity gets too strong for anything to escape. And then, at the ...

Observations from the ALMA telescope array uncovered evidence of giant space tornadoes at the core of our galaxy.

"This energy can be harnessed in many ways, as long as the objects being swept up in the rotation do not cross a black hole's point of no return, the so-called Event Horizon. Once an object ...

But where reality ends and fiction takes over is at the edge of a black hole — a place called the event horizon, where no spacecraft has ever gone. So, whatever happens beyond that boundary ...

Though they're not completely sure of its origin, the scientists behind this discovery say they think it came from an accretion disk located just beyond the black hole's event horizon — a region ...

We’ve even caught one on camera in 2019, when we finally took a direct picture of the “event horizon” that marks the point of no escape from a black hole. But why do we care? Black holes ...
