Physicists have started to treat a once-fringe idea with surprising seriousness: that our entire observable universe might be the interior of a black hole that formed in some larger cosmos. The notion ...

A new image of M87 shows and confirms for the first time the feeding ring and jet of its supermassive black hole.

A UK-based research project, TomoGrav, will produce the first 3D movies of black holes, mapping plasma flows and gravity in real time using advanced AI and global telescope networks.

You know what might be the best way to travel to the other side of the world? By drilling your way right through the planet.

Scientists are developing new methods to turn black hole images into time-resolved 3D movies, revealing how plasma, jets, and gravity behave near event horizons ...

When you buy through links on our articles, Future and its syndication partners may earn a commission. An image of a black hole surrounded by matter. Does the secret of quantum gravity lie around ...

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 ...

APM 08279-5255 is a massive black hole (quasar) that contains about 140 trillion times the amount in all of Earth’s oceans ...

Why it's incredible: Evidence suggests it could be the greatest known impact crater on Earth. The Wilkes Land crater is a hole in the bedrock beneath East Antarctica's ice sheet measuring 315 miles ...

The ground may feel steady underfoot, but the planet is always in motion. While satellites and sensors have mapped the surface in fine detail, what lies beneath remains largely unknown. The crust, a ...

Researchers have proposed many origins for a gravity anomaly in Wilkes Land, East Antarctica, but the latest evidence suggests the subglacial hole is an impact crater measuring 315 miles across. When ...

What would a human see and feel while falling into a black hole? In this exclusive excerpt of his new book, "Facing Infinity," author and astrophysicist Jonas Enander tells us in terrifying detail.
