Using a sophisticated supercomputer, astronomers have modeled the region of space around the supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy Messier 87 (M87)— potentially discovering the ...

(CNN) — Want to know what happens after you pass through a black hole? Just look around you. You might land in another universe that is similar to our own, if Stephan Hawking is right.

In 2005, Campanelli and her colleagues, Carlos Lousto and Yosef Zlochower, were one of two groups of scientists credited with simulating the merger of two black holes on a supercomputer according to ...

The most distant and oldest black hole ever seen using NASA telescopes may explain how some of the celestial voids in the universe formed, according to the agency's Chandra X-ray Observatory.

A scientist from Tokyo Metropolitan University has solved the longstanding problem of a "dissonance" in gravitational waves emitted by a black hole. Using high precision computing and a new ...

In December 2020, astronomers spotted an unusual burst of light in a galaxy roughly 848 million light-years away—a region with a supermassive black hole at the center that had been largely quiet ...

A "fast-feeding" black hole that appeared to defy physics is actually pretty ordinary, observations from the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) reveal. In November 2024, astronomers using JWST ...

Black holes in space are a source of both great terror and deep fascination. Now, the most detailed, highest resolution simulation of a black hole ever has solved a ...

Here’s how it works. DENVER — Astronomers watched a high-speed gas cloud slam into the matter getting sucked toward Sagittarius A* — the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky ...
