Black holes exert a tremendous influence on their surroundings, meaning that when they spin, they literally drag the very ...

The Sagittarius A* supermassive black hole at the core of the Milky Galaxy may be "warping the spacetime surrounding it into ...

Gas swirling around black holes forms disks that are among the most effective energy converters in the universe, emitting ...

A team of astrophysicists, led by scholars from the Institute for Advanced Study, has developed an innovative technique to ...

Astronomers have spotted pure chaos lurking in the cosmos. Thousands of light years away from Earth, a small yet intensely ...

Scientists are now claiming that primordial black holes may be heating up and exploding throughout the universe. Detection of ...

Astrophysicists have developed a method to detect light echoes from black holes, potentially revolutionizing the measurement ...

The gravitational field of a rotating black hole is powerful and strange. It is so powerful that it warps space and time back ...

All matter that approaches a black hole takes on the form of a spiraling disk. This disk whirls around at such a rapid pace that the material within it glows white-hot and ionizes, transforming into a ...

A new study reveals that ultraluminous accretion disks could also oscillate like a spinning top when the black hole rotates. This discovery raises questions about the origin of some observed cosmic ...

Their novel method, which will make it easier for the mass and the spin of black holes to be measured, represents a major step forward, since it operates ...

Primordial black holes may be exploding throughout the universe. If we can catch them in the act, it could pave the way to ...
