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 ...

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

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

Astronomers studying elusive supermassive black ... Event Horizon Telescope, an expanded version of EHT that astronomers hope will capture not just images but also videos of black holes.

Our conception of time, black holes, and dark energy may be on the verge of a radical transformation thanks to an innovative ...

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 ...

Once we have established the existence of an event horizon, however, we can start to think about what it would be like to approach a black hole. Suppose you had three spaceships located in deep ...
