Astronomers discover ultrapowerful black hole jet as bright as 10 trillion suns lit by Big Bang's afterglow This galaxy cluster has mysterious cosmic tendrils over 200,000 light-years long (image) ...
In a groundbreaking achievement, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration has conducted the highest-resolution observations ever achieved from Earth, detecting light at 345 GHz from the ...
From their measurements, the scientists have also estimated the strength of the magnetic field close to the black hole's event horizon. The field strength, 2.6 tesla, is about 400 times stronger ...
At the core of the galaxy, about 26,000 light-years away in space, is Sagittarius A*, a supermassive black hole about 4 ...
After the telescope first imaged the supermassive black hole at the heart of the galaxy Messier 87 (M87), it also imaged the polarization of light around this black hole, which is as massive as 6. ...
After taking the first images of black holes, the ground-breaking Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is poised to reveal how black holes launch powerful jets into space. Now, a research team led by ...
It’s a difficult question to answer. Assuming it’s true that our universe resides inside a black hole, there would be no way for us to see beyond our own event horizon. We could hypothetically ...
The team of astronomers made the observations of the heart of the radio galaxy 3C 84, also known as Perseus A, a region powered by a feeding supermassive black hole, using the Event Horizon ...
Description The Event Horizon Telescope, a network of radio antennae around the globe, has captured the first image of a black hole event horizon. This black hole is located in Messier 87, or M87, ...
This is a sonification — translation into sound — of the latest image from the Event Horizon Telescope of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way called Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*).
The galaxy, NGC 1052, resides roughly 60 million light-years away in the constellation Cetus and hosts a supermassive black hole that weighs more than 150 million suns and blasts bipolar jets from ...
