Black holes have been that elusive, mystifying entity lurking deep in space, fascinating our every waking thought. The scientists would go on speculating about its existence for decades, but it wasn’t ...

The historic first image of the Messier 87 (M87) supermassive black hole, captured using the Event Horizon Telescope, has ...

Finnish scientists have shot two black holes orbiting each other, offering the first ever definitive proof that these intergalactic voids come in pairs, per a study published October 9 in the ...

In a major leap forward, scientists, using the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), have captured the sharpest images yet of distant galactic centers. Using light at a frequency of 345 GHz, they’ve peered ...

Observations by a system of radio telescopes have offered the first visual evidence for the existence of black hole pairs. But vital follow-up observations are needed before we know for sure. When you ...

A radio image of two black holes orbiting each other in Quasar OJ287. The light comes from the glowing gas surrounding the black holes and the particle jets being emitted. Valtonen, Mauri et al., The ...

A UK-based research project, TomoGrav, will produce the first 3D movies of black holes, mapping plasma flows and gravity in real time using advanced AI and global telescope networks.

Astronomers had long suspected that certain quasars—those brilliant, otherworldly light sources fueled by supermassive black holes—could harbor two black holes rather than one. That theory, long ...

For the first time, astronomers have managed to capture a radio image showing two black holes orbiting each other. The observation confirmed the existence of black hole pairs. In the past, astronomers ...

Astronomers with the Event Horizon Telescope have developed a new way to observe the radio sky at multiple frequencies, and it means we will soon be able to capture color images of supermassive black ...
