Astronomers Solve the Mystery Behind M87’s Enormous Space Jet
Astronomers have directly linked the supermassive black hole M87* to its enormous plasma jet using new Event Horizon Telescope data. The findings reveal where the jet originates near the black hole’s shadow, providing crucial insight into how black holes launch matter at nearly the speed of light.

M87 Black Hole: Turbulent Plasma Dynamics and Feeding Process Revealed
M87*, the supermassive black hole in Messier 87, continues to captivate astronomers. EHT observations from 2017 and 2018 revealed turbulence in the accretion flow, with the plasma ring’s brightest region shifting due to gas dynamics. The study also uncovered a counter-rotating gas spiral feeding mechanism, refining understanding of black hole fee...

Black Hole Mergers Explained: What Happens When Two Black Holes Collide in Space?
Black hole mergers are among the most energetic events in space. Two black holes gradually lose energy through gravitational interactions, drawing them closer until their event horizons stretch and merge. Gravitational waves released during the process are some of the most powerful forces in the universe, with part of the black holes' mass converti...

A Unique Collaboration Using a Virtual Earth-Sized Telescope Shows How Science Is Changing in the 21st Century
In 2019, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration produced the first-ever image of a black hole, stunning the world. Now, scientists are taking it further. The next generation Event Horizon Telescope (ngEHT) collaboration aims to create high-quality videos of black holes.

Bright Photon Ring Discovered in Remastered Image of Massive Black Hole: All Details
Researchers have discovered an image of a black hole in the M87 galaxy contains a photon ring that was not previously visible. The first-ever picture of a black hole was captured using the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) in 2019. When a beam of light passes close to the black hole, it tends to change its direction due to the warping of spacetime. The...

"A Game Changer": Indian Scientists Praise First-Ever Blackhole Images
"This is the first direct evidence of a black hole. That way, it is a game changer," said one of the Indian scientists.

Black Holes May Finally Be Ready for Their Close-Up
The Event Horizon Telescope is a network of 10 radio telescopes on four continents that collectively operate like a single instrument nearly the size of the Earth.

Black Holes May Finally Be Ready For Their Close-Up
At precisely 13:00 Universal Time on Wednesday - 9 a.m. in the Eastern United States - scientists will hold simultaneous news conferences in Washington, D.C., Belgium, Denmark, Chile, Japan, China and Taiwan to reveal the long-awaited results of the Event Horizon Telescope. What everyone is expecting and hoping to see is the first direct image of a...

First Image of Black Hole Pieced Together by Astronomers
"Instead of building a telescope so big that it would probably collapse under its own weight, we combined eight observatories like the pieces of a giant mirror."

Astronomers Piece Together First Image Of Black Hole
After training a network of telescopes stretching from Hawaii to Antarctica to Spain at the heart of our galaxy for five nights running, astronomers said Wednesday they may have snapped the first-ever picture of a black hole.
