These black holes are nicknamed 'blazars' because they are shooting explosive jets of matter and radiation directly at Earth ... Related: What is a black hole event horizon (and what happens ...
Astronomers observe them as bright galactic cores where the galaxy's supermassive black hole devours matter from a violent whirlpool called accretion disk. Some of the matter is squeezed out into a ...
OK, that was a little click-baity, but then again, so was the announcement this week that a scientist had confirmed Hawking radiation with a lab-grown black hole. It sure got our attention ...
The "H" was revealed in an X-ray image of gas that surrounds the black hole in the elliptical galaxy Messier 84 (M84), located around 60 million light-years from Earth in the constellation Virgo.
The first direct detection of gravitational waves in 2015 has opened a new window on the universe, enabling in particular the ...
The black hole itself is four million times more massive than our Sun. Since it’s at the center of the Milky Way, it lies roughly 27,000 light-years away from Earth. At that distance ...
The Hubble Space Telescope may have just found a rare "missing link" black hole hiding in Earth's cosmic backyard. Located roughly 6,000 light-years away at the core of the nearby star cluster Messier ...

Of all the ways that planet Earth could meet its eventual demise, death by black hole is among the most spectacular. While gamma-ray bursts, nearby supernovae, or giant collisions with asteroids or ...
Astronomers are using 100 newly found supermassive black holes as a laboratory for extreme physics experiments. These black holes are nicknamed 'blazars' because they are shooting explosive jets of ...
