Among the events it can identify are tidal disruption events, where a star gets spaghettified by the enormous gravity of a ...

Black holes are the hungry monsters of the cosmos: enormously dense objects that can suck in any material which strays too close and then devour it. Now, astronomers using the Hubble Space Telescope ...

New research challenges the long-accepted notion of singularities in black holes — the point where physics allegedly breaks ...

Caltech’s Katie Bouman explains how the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration captured the first imager of the Sagittarius A* ...

Scientists have been left baffled after spotting a lone black hole drifting through the Milky Way, without any orbiting stars. Although this black hole is seven times more massive than our sun ...

The first lone black hole is located in the Sagittarius Constellation No star is orbiting the newly discovered black hole The black hole is as big as seven times the ...

Astronomers using the James Webb Space Telescope have found compelling evidence of a supermassive black hole at the heart of the Messier 83 galaxy. Webb's Mid-Infrared Instrument detected highly ...

New Delhi: Astrophysicists from Aryabhatta Research Institute of Observational Sciences (ARIES), an autonomous institute of the Department of Science and Technology (DST), have successfully detected ...

Using the 3.6m Devasthal Optical Telescope (DOT) -- India's largest optical telescope --, the team found that gas clouds orbit the black hole at a distance of 125 light-minutes (around 2.25 ...

What if everything we know—the stars, the galaxies, the expanding fabric of space-time—isn’t floating in a limitless void, but instead exists inside a black hole? It may sound like a work of ...

The black hole now gives off powerful X-rays at nearly regular intervals. These outbursts are known as quasi-periodic eruptions (QPEs), and have been observed emitting from other black holes. But ...

In general relativity, a gravitational white hole is a hypothetical region of space that cannot be entered from outside. It is the reverse of a black hole from which light and information cannot ...
