Black hole light echoes are an extreme form of gravitational lensing. To measure the masses and spins of black holes, ...

As you can probably imagine by this point, falling into a black hole would be terrifying. "If you fell into a black hole, the gravitational pull would stretch you out in a process called ...

YouTuber Zack D. Films has made an eerie black hole simulation video (YouTube/@zackdfilms) "A black hole is so dense that gravity just beneath its surface, the event horizon, is strong enough that ...

Black Hole Simulator is a Roblox experience in which you start as the small black dot that needs to evolve into the biggest black hole in the city. Eat bushes and grow until you can swallow buildings ...

Black holes are always fascinating, and a new simulation adds to their mystery. You likely did not previously associate them with fluffy angel-food cake, but researchers at Caltech recently put ...

One idea was that AT 2021hdr was a tidal disruption event (TDE) ,] where a star strays too close to a black hole and is ...

Produced on a NASA supercomputer, the simulation tracks a camera as it approaches, briefly orbits, and then crosses the event horizon — the point of no return — of a monster black hole much ...

Astrophysicists have developed a method to detect light echoes from black holes, potentially revolutionizing the measurement ...

This simulation shows two black holes colliding near the speed of light, revealing the mysterious physics of what one astrophysicist calls “one of the most violent events you can imagine in the ...

Gas swirling around black holes forms disks that are among the most effective energy converters in the universe, emitting ...

Stellar-mass black holes typically form after a star goes supernova and collapses. However, the discovery of the first-ever triple black hole system, V404 Cygni, complicates that picture. This black ...

When black holes merge, what happens inside of them is anybody's guess. Black hole mergers are beautiful — and some of the most violent events in the cosmos. Here's how the process unfolds.
