Scientists Detect Light Being Ejected From Behind Black Hole, Proving Einstein's Theory Correct
Researchers have now been able to see light being ejected from behind a supermassive black hole, 800 million light-years away from Earth. These light waves — called "echoes" — were detected in the form of X-rays, according to a study published in the Nature journal.

2020 Nobel Prize in Physics Awarded for Black Hole Discoveries
Britain's Roger Penrose, Reinhard Genzel of Germany and US scientist Andrea Ghez won the 2020 Nobel Prize for Physics for their discoveries about one of the most exotic phenomena in the universe, the black hole, the award-giving body said on Tuesday.

Star's Movement Proves Einstein's 100-Year-Old Theory True, Say Scientists
A star orbiting the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way moves just as predicted by physicist Albert Einstein Einstein over 100 years ago, astronomers have found.

100 Years Ago A Solar Eclipse Made Albert Einstein Famous
A century ago, a few adventurous astronomers pointed their telescopes at the skies, observing one of the most famous solar eclipses that helped transform our understanding of the universe forever.

Astronomers Just Achieved Something Albert Einstein Said Was Impossible
Albert Einstein had no way of knowing that people would one day build a telescope so powerful it can see galaxies in the making 10 billion light-years away. With the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers had a hope of proving Einstein right about light bending but wrong about our inability to see it.

Gravitational Waves Detected for Second Time, Say LIGO Researchers
Researchers announced they had found the waves a second time in December, produced by the collision of two black holes some 1.4 billion years ago.

LIGO's Twin Black Holes May Have Been Born Inside Single Star
In order to power both the gravitational wave event and the gamma-ray burst, the twin black holes must have been born close together.
