In 2019, the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration released the first image of a supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy M87. In 2022, they presented an image of the black hole in our ...

Black holes are invisible, yet they are among the brightest things in the universe. If a star wanders too close to a black hole, it gets torn apart in a fireworks show called a tidal disruption event.

When any object gets close to a supermassive black hole, it's typically ensnared in a powerful gravitational pull. That's due to the event horizon – a theoretical boundary known as the "point of ...

Deep learning inference with the Event Horizon Telescope. Astronomy & Astrophysics, 2025; 698: A60 DOI: 10.1051/0004-6361/202553784 ...

Well before it reaches the event horizon, the doomed star will start to experience tidal forces. Gravity gets stronger the closer you get to a massive object, so the side of the star closer to the ...

In 2019, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) Collaboration released the first image of a supermassive black hole at the center of the galaxy M87.

This idea, which we call the black hole universe, offers a radically different view of cosmic origins, yet it is grounded entirely in known physics and observations.

This is a familiar process: stars collapse into black holes, which are among the most well-understood objects in physics. But what happens inside a black hole, beyond the event horizon from which ...

What makes Prime Thrift legendary among Maryland bargain hunters is their special trunk-filling deal. For just $40, shoppers can stuff designated items into their vehicle’s trunk, creating a ...

In response, the black hole slowly drains the life out of the star, creating a bright, energy surge unlike anything we’ve ever observed before. “We’ve observed stars getting ripped apart as tidal ...
