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 ...

The black hole couldn’t handle all the material it had pulled in, so it expelled some of it in a powerful outflow. This outflow was moving at 27% the speed of light, or about 80,000 kilometers ...

There are objects in our universe so dense that not even light escapes through them. These oddities, known as supermassive black holes, can weigh billions of times more than our sun. Scientists have ...

Most galaxies around the size of the Milky Way or larger have a supermassive black hole skulking in their center. Each of these black holes can be millions or even billions of times more massive ...

The monster black hole lurking at the center of galaxy M87 is an absolute beast. It is one of the largest in our vicinity and was the ideal first target for the Event Horizon Telescope. Scientists ...

The black hole weighs about 6.5 billion solar masses. Scientists now believe it spins at around 80% of the maximum speed nature allows.

The famous black hole M87 keeps surprising us. New research calculates its spin speed to be at 80% of the theoretical limit, ...
