Black holes are always fascinating, and a new simulation adds to their mystery. You likely did not previously associate them with fluffy angel-food cake, but researchers at Caltech recently put ...

You can create a release to package software, along with release notes and links to binary files, for other people to use. Learn more about releases in our docs.

"These observations provide a more complete picture of the black hole's environment and its ... using an improved and expanded set of computer simulations. "The 2018 observations, in conjunction ...

"Our measurements imply that the supermassive black hole mass is 10% of the stellar mass in the galaxies we studied." Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have discovered ...

Sgr A*'s presence creates a wild, turbulent region of space, with a huge torus of dust roiling around the supermassive black hole. Astronomers don't know what causes the flares in the region, but ...

That includes light. "This would be the closest thing we know of around any black hole." The astronomers ran simulations of what could drive these unusual bursts of energy around the black hole ...

Binary black holes could form in merging galaxies Light variations suggest binary black holes in PG 1553+153 Gravitational waves may confirm binary black hole systems ...

A "missing link" black hole in Omega Centauri is still missing. What appeared to be an intermediate-mass black hole was a cluster of stellar-mass black holes. New research may have delivered bad ...

The first black hole that astronomers observed "turning off" just turned back on, releasing jets of hot gas into the cosmos. When you purchase through links on our site, we may earn an affiliate ...

Simulation of two colliding supermassive black holes emitting gravitational waves that could be detected with this novel method. Credit: NASA’s Goddard Space Flight Center/Scott Noble; simulation data ...
