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 orbits around the black hole’s event horizon. This is the first step ...

Physicists think the insides of black holes may be complex mazes of tangled strings in higher dimensions Black holes, the ...

The extreme resolution achieved by the Event Horizon Telescope enabled studies of jets closer than ever to the central supermassive black holes of these galaxies. The team investigated the ...

Now, JWST may have revealed evidence that our entire universe exists inside the event horizon of a black hole inside a larger parent universe. How Worried Should We Be About Black Holes?

The intensity of gravitational forces around a black hole sends gas, dust, and other material spinning violently around the ...
