and co-lead of the project. “Along with Sgr A* having a strikingly similar polarisation structure to that seen in the much larger and more powerful M87* black hole, we’ve learned that strong ...

Could tiny primordial black holes, formed in the earliest moments of our universe, be lurking inside asteroids or even ...

Newcastle University experts will lead a new project to help our understanding of black holes.

Scientists may have cracked one of the biggest mysteries in space science, determining that supermassive black holes bent the ...

A recent study in Physical Review Letters explores quantum effects on black hole thermodynamics and geometry, focusing on ...

The cosmic dawn, a period less than a billion years after the Big Bang, holds one of modern astrophysics' greatest mysteries: ...

The DESI survey reveals that active black holes in small galaxies are common. The findings may help reveal how the two cosmic bodies evolve together.

This is a "point of no return", beyond which it is impossible to escape the gravitational effects of the black hole Prof Falcke had the idea for the project when he was a PhD student in 1993.

Black holes are points in space that are so dense they create deep gravity sinks. Beyond a certain region, not even light can escape the powerful tug of a black hole's gravity. And anything that ...

"But this new image is special because it's our supermassive black hole," said Prof Heino Falcke, one of the European pioneers behind the EHT project. "This is in 'our backyard', and if you want ...

Dr. Christopher Carothers, professor and director of RPI's Center for Computational Innovations, will serve as the project's principal ... track the formation of black holes.

Peculiar James Webb Space Telescope observations seem to show gargantuan black holes in the earliest moments of the universe. New research may explain how they formed, thanks to primordial "seeds".
