Scientists Finally Explain Mysterious “Impossible” Merger of Two Massive Black Holes

A detailed suite of simulations conducted by astrophysicists at the Flatiron Institute and their collaborators showed that magnetic fields can produce black holes with masses that were previously believed to be mostly unattainable. In 2023, astronomers recorded a dramatic cosmic event. Two unusually large black holes collided about 7 billion…

New X-Ray Signals Reveal Wild Activity Around a Black Hole

A team of researchers used the balloon-borne XL-Calibur telescope to capture the most detailed polarized X-ray measurements yet from the black hole Cygnus X-1. These observations reveal new clues about how superheated material swirls, stretches, and glows as it falls toward the black hole’s center. An international team of physicists...Read…
