In a groundbreaking achievement, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration has conducted the highest-resolution observations ever achieved from Earth, detecting light at 345 GHz from the ...

EHT is well-known for taking the first supermassive black hole image of M87* —situated in the center of the M87 galaxy — in 2019. In 2022, EHT took a photograph of Milky Way’s black hole Sgr A*.

Using the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), astronomers have achieved test very-long-baseline interferometry observations at 345 GHz, the highest-resolution observations ever obtained from the ...

A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge ...

Using the XMM-Newton telescope, astronomers have witnessed high-speed "burps" erupting from a distant overfeeding ...

But so far, only two black holes have made it into the EHT’s high-resolution photo album: Sagittarius A* and the even larger M87*, a 6.5-billion-solar-mass gargantuan at the center of Messier 87 ...

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

High-resolution X-ray spectroscopy of such distant black hole winds is not yet possible, but current and upcoming cutting-edge observatories such as the James Webb Space Telescope, the Atacama ...

The universe may not have begun with the Big Bang as is generally thought but from the collapse of a massive black hole, a new theory suggests. At such a critical moment in US history, we need ...

There is only indirect evidence of the existence of black holes. A laboratory demonstration of an X-ray interferometer is a step towards achieving the angular resolution necessary to obtain a ...

These models predict subtle observational differences from classical black holes, which future high-resolution imaging and gravitational wave data could potentially detect, ...

The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration has conducted test observations achieving the highest resolution ever obtained from the surface of the Earth, by detecting light from the centers of ...
