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...

Supermassive Black Hole at the Centre of the Milky Way Is Spinning Unexpectedly
Sagittarius A* (pronounced Sagittarius A Star), the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way, is spinning in an unusual way, and scientists now believe they may know why. Based on new data from the Event Horizon Telescope, researchers suggest that this cosmic giant likely merged with another black hole billions of years ago. This colo...

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...

How The 1st Image Of The Supermassive Black Hole At Milky Way's Centre Was Captured
Black holes are among the most profound predictions of Einstein's theory of general relativity. They were originally studied as a mere mathematical consequence of the theory rather than as physically relevant objects.

How The EHT Super-Telescope Snapped The Supermassive Black Hole
Powerful enough to spot a golf ball on the moon, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is a network of radio dishes designed to detect the light cast when matter disappears into the maw of a black hole.
