The Sombrero Galaxy is too faint to see with the naked eye but easily visible through a modest amateur telescope, appearing ...

Light from the spiral galaxy UGC 11397 in Lyra took 250 million years to reach Hubble, capturing a glimpse of the distant ...

New research is shedding light on what researchers call "lite" intermediate-mass black holes, which are smaller, but still ...

Gravitational waves stretch and squeeze the fabric of space and time itself. When space/time is squeezed, pulsar pulses ...

"This work is a step toward understanding how quantum mechanics and gravity work together, a major unsolved problem in ...

The scientists who precisely measure the position of Earth are in a bit of trouble. Their measurements are essential for the ...

Using machine learning to analyse data from the Event Horizon Telescope, researchers found the black hole at the centre of our galaxy is spinning almost as fast as possible ...

Supermassive black holes usually lurk unseen, but when an unlucky star drifts too close they ignite titanic outbursts ...

Thomas Mulligan simplifies Stephen Hawking’s black hole paradox to make it accessible to all viewers.

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 ...

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.

Using a neural network trained with simulations of supermassive black holes, astronomers have found that the one at the center of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A*, likely rotates at maximum speed.
