The shape of the black hole's shadow has remained consistent, and its diameter remains in agreement with Einstein's theory of general relativity for a black hole of 6.5-billion solar masses.

The first photo of a black hole has revealed more support for Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity. The size of the black hole’s shadow matches up with Einstein’s theory, making it ...

The findings, from the same Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) that produced the iconic first image of a black hole’s shadow, confirm that M87*’s rotational axis points away from Earth. The analyses also ...

First, the shadow diameter of the event horizon doesn’t change over time, which is exactly what Einstein’s theory of general relativity predicts for a supermassive black hole of M87*’s size.

In addition to producing a refined image of a black hole shadow, Loeb hopes more details regarding the mechanics of a black hole will be revealed in imaging, too. “Since LIGO ...

The international Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration, which is imaging for the first time the black-hole candidate at the center of our Milky Way, has a major research focus in Germany. A ...

The extraordinary image taken last year of P?wehi, or M87*, the supermassive black hole at the center of galaxy M87, opened a new chapter in astronomy and researchers are now sharing new insights ...

The black hole will cast a shadow against that flare. “Einstein’s equations tell you exactly what the size and shape of that shadow should be, ...

For years, the supermassive black hole in the dark center of the Milky Way galaxy has been theorized about and studied — and finally, it's been captured in an image.

Space.com: Reaching for a cosmic "Holy Grail," astronomers say they will be able to see the black hole's overall shadow within a few years .

The first photo of a black hole has revealed more support for Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity. The size of the black hole’s shadow matches up with Einstein’s theory, making it ...
