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 ...

Now, JWST may have revealed evidence that our entire universe exists inside the event horizon of a black hole inside a larger ...

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

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 ...

Our conception of time, black holes, and dark energy may be on the verge of a radical transformation thanks to an innovative study conducted by the University of Sheffield. This new research proposes ...

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 ...

The point in the stream where its speed straddles the local speed of sound is the equivalent to a real black hole’s event horizon; phonons inside that boundary can never escape. Except ...

The black hole, called Sagittarius A*, inhabits a dusty region of space, making the object difficult to observe with visible light. Although the Event Horizon Telescope, a global network of radio ...

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 ...

Now, JWST may have revealed evidence that our entire universe exists inside the event horizon of a black hole inside a larger parent universe. Black holes are physical Twilight Zones, some of the ...
