The Event Horizon Telescope only recently gave us the first images of the environment immediately surrounding a black hole.

A 350-foot drop in sea level over the Indian Ocean stems from magma plumes tied to an ancient ocean bed. The government ...

“We showed that if black hole morsels are created during mergers, they would produce a burst of high-energy gamma rays, with the delay time related to their mass,” Dr. Cacciapaglia said. “Our analysis ...

Astronomers have spotted the largest and most distant flare ever observed from a supermassive black hole. Nicknamed “Superman,” the flare originated 10 billion light-years from Earth ... gas, and ...

Centuries before anyone pointed a telescope at the sky, Isaac Newton figured out how gravity works. He showed that any object ...

Black holes can get energy boosts by ‘snacking’, although their dish of choice is rather different from our own. Analysis ...
