Sagittarius A* is spinning near top speed with its rotation axis pointing towards Earth. Event Horizon black hole project executed over 12 million computing jobs using distributed computing.

The black hole couldn’t handle all the material it had pulled in, so it expelled some of it in a powerful outflow. This outflow was moving at 27% the speed of light, or about 80,000 kilometers ...

A powerful new technique is poised to revolutionize how astronomers observe black holes, by producing sharp, multicolored images that could reveal their dynamic evolution in real time.

There are objects in our universe so dense that not even light escapes through them. These oddities, known as supermassive black holes, can weigh billions of times more than our sun. Scientists have ...

Black holes are invisible, yet they are among the brightest things in the universe. If a star wanders too close to a black hole, it gets torn apart in a fireworks show called a tidal disruption ...
