New statistical analyses of the supermassive black hole M87* may explain changes observed since it was first imaged. The findings, from the same Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) that produced the iconic ...

The iconic image of a supermassive black hole in the Messier 87 (M87) galaxy—described by astronomers as a "fuzzy orange donut"—was a stunning testament to the capabilities of the Event ...

Black holes are always fascinating, and a new simulation adds to their mystery. You likely did not previously associate them with fluffy angel-food cake, but researchers at Caltech recently put ...

A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge computing. Scientists have used a powerful neural network trained with ...

Now, new simulations show that these collisions influence the spins of black holes. As the black holes move closer together, their spins align with the binary orbit creating a beautiful sight in ...

The simulations show an object looking like a blurry photo of a black hole from afar but like something else entirely up close. The object is hypothetical at this stage. But the fact that the team ...

NASA's simulation is based on a supermassive black hole the same size as the one at the center of our galaxy: Sagittarius A*. Here's an image of what Sagittarius A* really looks like.

"In 2019, we saw the shadow of a black hole for the first time, but we only saw images observed during a one-week window, which is too short to see a lot of changes," Maciek Wielgus, an astronomer ...

For the first time, astronomers have observed, in the same image, the shadow of the black hole at the centre of the galaxy Messier 87 (M87) and the powerful jet expelled from it.

The search for dark matter requires all the best models, theories, and ideas we can throw at it. A new paper by Julia Monika ...

The EHT’s previous run had revealed the black hole’s ‘shadow’, ... The team further used general relativistic magnetohydrodynamic (GRMHD) simulations to create models of the M87 black hole.

This first-ever image of Sagittarius A*—the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way—was released to the public in 2022. It depicts a ringlike "doughnut" of superheated gas ...
