Scientists have revealed they’ve seen the cosmic equivalent of this – two black holes merging on the outskirts of our galaxy.

Using the XMM-Newton telescope, astronomers have witnessed high-speed "burps" erupting from a distant overfeeding supermassive black hole.

A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge computing. Scientists have used a powerful neural network trained with ...

Chandra X-ray Observatory observations of the Perseus galaxy cluster's black hole and M87's jet have been turned into sound by SYSTEM Sounds. The Chandra team explains how it was done.

With their image of the M87 black hole, researchers with the Event Horizon Telescope project caught their first glimpse of the ring of gas and dust that surrounds the dark abyss.

Another difference is that the EHT observed M87 over six days in April 2017, giving a recent snapshot of the black hole. The Chandra observations investigate ejected material within the jet that was ...

The colossal black hole lurking at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is spinning almost as fast as its maximum rotation rate.

Black holes, the enigmatic remnants of collapsed massive stars or the centres of galaxies, drive powerful accretion processes that influence their surroundings and may even launch relativistic jets.

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) stunned the world in 2019 with the first image of a black hole, found in the M87 galaxy. Then in 2022, it released a new image of Sagittarius A*, our galaxy's ...

Space is mostly quiet. Data collected by telescopes are most often turned into silent charts, plots, and images. A "sonification" project led by NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory and the Universe of ...

The new black hole has more than 200 times the mass of our sun – and is challenging theories of how objects form in space ...
