NASA's Chandra X-ray space telescope has spotted the cosmic serial killer that, like Michael Myers, is back for a sequel, ...

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 ...

By seeing their gravity pulling on other things. We can find black holes by watching the movements ... Contrary to what you may have seen in movies, black holes don’t actually “suck” things in. For ...

The black hole pressures—P S, the outward pressure keeping it inflated from the negative scalar curvature, and P M the inward pressure from self-gravity trying to compress it—are gravitational ...

X-ray spectroscopy of gas deep in the potential well of the black hole, where the effects of strong gravity are important, allows us to probe the properties of the black hole itself. We numerically ...

The material rotates rapidly around the black hole, with the immense gravity causing it to spiral "at about the speed of light", says Hlavacek-Larrondo. As it falls towards the black hole ...

To this day, the entropy-area law is one of the most concrete things we know about the quantum nature of gravity. “Whatever your quantum gravity model is, it has to be able to explain black hole ...

Black holes aren’t actually holes. They’re named that way because their matter is so dense that even light cannot escape their gravity. In an image of one, you’ll see a ring of light ...

All the mass, light and energy that has ever fallen into the black hole is compressed by its own overwhelming gravity into a point that is infinitely small and infinitely dense. The more a black ...

A global research team with the Event Horizon Telescope has captured the light around our own supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A*, revealing its first-ever image. The new postcard from the ...
