Black holes

Black holes are extremely dense regions of space formed by the collapse of giant stars at the end of their life cycle. They are places in space where the pull of gravity is so strong that nothing can escape, not even light. According to…

The 2019 release of the first image of a black hole was hailed as a significant scientific achievement. But truth be told, it was a bit blurry - or, as one astrophysicist involved in the effort called it, a "fuzzy orange donut."Scientists…

The supermassive monster is tearing across the void, smashing through gas clouds in its path. This event presumably resulted from a strange game of cosmic billiards. Because of the tremendous pressures at work, this gas is being shaped into…

A huge black hole is tearing through space, leaving behind a 200,000-light-year-long trail of newborn stars, space scientists say.The supermassive monster -- likely born of a bizarre game of intergalactic billiards -- is rampaging through…

There are several giant objects floating in space. From massive planets to enormous asteroids and more. But they all pale in comparison to the latest NASA find. The NASA Hubble Space Telescope has detected a 'monster' runaway black hole.…

The “biggest ever” black hole has been detected by astronomers using a new technique, opening up “tantalising” possibilities for space exploration.The findings — akin to something straight out of a sci-fi film — by the Royal Astronomical…

Black holes are the biggest mysteries in Space and yes, they are most savage phenomena in outer space. Now, they have been caught ravaging the same stars over and over again. The ESA XMM-Newton space telescope has provided two…

Using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory Telescope, astronomers have found out hundreds of previously hidden, or buried black holes. Using NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory Telescope, astronomers have found out hundreds of previously…

Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) launched last December as a collaboration between the U.S. space agency NASA and the Italian Space Agency. Most galaxies are built around humongous black holes. While many of these are…

Researchers' recent observations of a black hole called Cygnus X-1 reveal new details about the configuration of hot matter in the region . The first observations of a mass-accreting black hole from the Imaging X-Ray Polarimetry…
