But in the past two decades, new types of black holes have been seen and astronomers are beginning to understand how they ...

The image of supermassive black hole Sagittarius A * was created using data from the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration.

We measure the extremely long distances between things in space by light years. A light year is the distance that light travels in one Earth year. Light travels at about 300,000 kilometres per second.

Imagine if a species grew up on a planet that had a black hole moon the mass of the moon. They’d have tides, they’d have an unobstructed view of the night sky, and they’d have no clue about this ...

With the recent first light milestone for the Vera Rubin Observatory, it's only a matter of time before one of astronomy's most long-awaited surveys begins. The Legacy Survey of Space and Time (LSST) ...

The buck moon is the first full moon in July and will be one of the most clearly visible lunar events of the year.

Are we living in a cosmic void? New theory suggests our galaxy sits in a giant hole warping the universe's expansion.

Caltech’s Katie Bouman explains how the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration captured the first imager of the Sagittarius A* Supermassive black hole at the core of the Milky Way galaxy - Milky Way vs ...

A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge computing. Scientists have used a powerful neural network trained with ...

Astronomers used AI and high-throughput computing to analyse Event Horizon Telescope data on black holes. Sagittarius A* is spinning near top speed with its rotation axis pointing towards Earth ...
