Scientists captured the first black hole image using the Event Horizon Telescope, combining multiple telescopes via Very Long Baseline Interferometry to create a powerful virtual telescope.

The team behind new research on the topic suggests that measuring whether gravitational waves from black hole mergers are right ... of astronomy — holds true. The Cosmological Principle states ...

An artist's concept of the supermassive black hole's mid-infrared flare. Image: CfA/Mel Weiss Astronomers have detected a mid-infrared flare from the supermassive black hole at the heart of the ...

"Interestingly, the quasar powering this massive radio jet does not have an extreme black hole mass compared to other quasars." Astronomers have detected the largest black hole-launched jet ever ...

The sharpest images yet of a supermassive black hole have been captured by University of Arizona astronomers at the Steward Observatory. The team described how they captured the infrared image of ...

The bright disk around the supermassive black hole releases a lot of light, which pushes dust away like many tiny sails, a phenomenon known as radiation pressure. The images revealed a dusty ...

The images show the Perseus Cluster and the Centaurus Cluster, each with a central black hole appearing as a bright white dot surrounded by patches and filaments of gas. In each image, a patch of ...

Hidden black holes are vital to understanding galaxy formation. The study estimates their true number and sheds light on how these giants shape the galaxies they inhabit. Supermassive black holes ...

though the paper's authors think the true number could be closer to 50%. However, astronomers are coming up with ways to locate them. The clouds around obscured black holes still emit some light ...
