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 ...

Astronomers have confirmed a wandering black hole, about seven times the mass of the Sun, 5,000 light-years from Earth.

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?

In 2018 astronomers at MIT and elsewhere observed previously unseen behavior from a black hole known as 1ES 1927+654, which ...

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 ...

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 ...

The Event Horizon Telescope project plans to reveal the first-ever images of a black hole, and the international group of researchers working on the project have something very big to show the ...

The Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration utilized its worldwide network of radio telescopes to provide this new image, which captures light bent by the powerful gravity of the black hole. Photo from ...

The idea that the universe is in the interior of a black hole is decades old. The theory posits that the "'event horizon' (the boundary from within which nothing can escape a black hole ...
