A new image of M87's black hole in polarized light gives us a spectacular view of the powerful spacetime event.

Scientists create a sonic black hole in the lab, confirm Stephen Hawking's theory

This research may open the door for exciting new black hole physics.

The supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way just got very hungry

This big boy just got the munchies.

Black hole picture shown for the first time

A historic moment in science that pushes the limits of human knowledge.

Black holes store information as holograms at the event horizon, says Stephen Hawking

Nothing can escape a black hole, not even light, any scientists schooled in modern physics will tell you. Eminent British physicists, Stephen Hawking, suggests however that information is still retained at the boundary of black holes, known as the event horizon.

Scientists claim incredibly small stars emerge from black holes

Black holes have fascinated both researchers and laymen for decades. Without a doubt, they are the point of maximum interest in terms of astrophysical research – objects with an incredibly large mass – so large that even light itself can’t escape it… what secrets do these objects still hold? According to Carlo Rovelli at the […]

Astronomers find star orbiting a black hole in the center of our galaxy

Einstein’s theory, as well as other theories about the fundamental space-time fabric around a black hole may be strongly tested, after astronomers report the finding of a a star that orbits an enormous black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy. Scientists explain it takes the star 11 and a half years to […]

Achieving the unbelievable: taking a picture of a black hole

Black Holes are the least understood entities, so far, in the Universe. However, if there’s one thing scientists know for sure about them, it’s that they’re the most extreme environment in cosmos. Black Holes have such a powerful, relentless gravity pull that it swallows absolutely everything in its vicinity, even light gets absorbed with zero […]
