Black holes have been that elusive, mystifying entity lurking deep in space, fascinating our every waking thought. The scientists would go on speculating about its existence for decades, but it wasn’t ...

For the first time, astronomers have managed to capture a radio image showing two black holes orbiting each other. The observation confirmed the existence of black hole pairs. In the past, astronomers ...

Finnish scientists have shot two black holes orbiting each other, offering the first ever definitive proof that these intergalactic voids come in pairs, per a study published October 9 in the ...

In a major leap forward, scientists, using the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), have captured the sharpest images yet of distant galactic centers. Using light at a frequency of 345 GHz, they’ve peered ...

Observations by a system of radio telescopes have offered the first visual evidence for the existence of black hole pairs. But vital follow-up observations are needed before we know for sure. When you ...

New research suggests future images of black holes could be precise enough to allow scientists to determine if these objects are accurately described by Albert Einstein's theory of gravity, general ...

A radio image of two black holes orbiting each other in Quasar OJ287. The light comes from the glowing gas surrounding the black holes and the particle jets being emitted. Valtonen, Mauri et al., The ...

Astronomers with the Event Horizon Telescope have developed a new way to observe the radio sky at multiple frequencies, and it means we will soon be able to capture color images of supermassive black ...

The first-ever image of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy. Image: EHT Collaboration Black holes are infamous for being invisible. But thanks to a new technique ...

After decades of searching, astronomers have imaged two supermassive black holes in orbit around each other at the heart of quasar OJ287. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an ...

A black hole can feel like the most distant and unreal object you could ever think about, yet the way its darkness bends light may one day speak directly to the deepest parts of physics. If you have ...

Albert Einstein's theory of gravity, general relativity, may not be the best recipe to describe black holes. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate commission. Here’s ...
