The first rendered image of a black hole, illuminated by infalling matter. In this study, researchers have proposed a model where these objects can gain…
Cupermassive black hole with an X-ray jet. Credit: NASA/CXC/M.Weiss Further confirmation of Einstein’s theory of general relativity. The galaxy Messier 87 (M87) is located 55…
Falling into a black hole is easily the worst way to die. Halloween is a time to be haunted by ghosts, goblins, and ghouls, but…
Giant “quantum twisters” may form in liquid light. Credit: University of Cambridge New mechanism found for generating giant vortices in quantum fluids of light. Anyone…
An artist’s impression of the colliding bubbles that can produce extremely low frequency gravitational waves during a cosmological phase transition in the early Universe. Credit:…
An image from the ROMULUS computer simulation showing an intermediate mass galaxy, its bright central region with its supermassive black hole, and the locations (and…
A quasar – the most luminous persistent source of light in the universe. Credit: NASA A discovery that provides new insight into how galaxies evolve.…
This composite image shows three radio-telescope views of the central region of the galaxy Messier 87 (M87), where a jet of fast-moving particles is ejected…
This illustration shows a glowing stream of material from a star, torn to shreds as it was being devoured by a supermassive black hole. The…
Artistic interpretation of a primordial black hole formed in the first moments of the Big Bang. Credit: NASA / G. Bacon (STScI) Since the earliest…
Astronomers have used gravitational lensing to obtain an unprecedented look at a black hole system in the early Universe. An artist’s illustration shows how the…
Physicists at the University of Sussex have discovered that black holes exert a pressure on their environment, in a scientific first. In 1974 Stephen Hawking…
Fast-moving debris from a supernova explosion triggered by a stellar collision crashes into gas thrown out earlier, and the shocks cause bright radio emission seen…

Illustration of a partial Dyson sphere around a star. Black holes are more than just massive objects that swallow everything around them – they’re also…
Image from a MAYA collaboration numerical relativity simulation of an NSBH binary merger, showing the disruption of the Neutron Star. Credit: Deborah Ferguson (UT Austin),…
Artist’s impression of an inner accretion flow and a jet from a supermassive black hole when it is actively feeding, for example, from a star…
An artist’s impression of an accretion disk rotating around an unseen supermassive black hole. The accretion process produces random fluctuations in luminosity from the disk…
