The EHT captured a surprising polarization reversal around M87*, pointing to rapidly changing magnetic fields near the black ...

The concept of creating a black hole on Earth - The implications of jumping into a hole through the Earth - Insights about ...

Astronomers watched how the light brightened and dimmed near the event horizon of the Milky Way's supermassive black hole, ...

Earth’s atmosphere is opaque to X-rays, which is probably good news for life on this planet. It is not good news for ...

Astronomers suspect that in the first second after the universe formed, the very first black holes also formed. These tiny though profoundly dense objects — think of an atom-sized particle wielding ...

An international collaboration of physicists including researchers at Washington University in St. Louis has made ...

Even though the black hole in the galactic core is millions of times bigger than the sun, you don't have to worry about ...

BUFFALO, N.Y. — Imagine the formation of a black hole and you’ll probably envision a massive star running out of fuel and collapsing in on itself. Yet the chaotic conditions of the early universe may ...

In a major leap forward, scientists, using the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), have captured the sharpest images yet of distant galactic centers. Using light at a frequency of 345 GHz, they’ve peered ...

"Once you consider magnetic fields, you can actually explain the origins of this unique event." Scientists have gotten to the ...
