Black Hole

Astronomers captured a stunning image of a black hole eruption in the galaxy Centaurus A. When seen from Earth, the ejection from Centaurus A presently expands eight degrees across the sky—the length of 16 full Moons laid next to each other. It was captured using the Murchison Widefield Array (MWA)…

Google Saturday's Google Doodle pays homage to the late Stephen Hawking, perhaps the most famous scientist of his time, who sought to explain the universe to millions. The renowned British theoretical physicist and cosmologist's work focused on increasing our understanding of black holes -- dying stars that've collapsed on themselves,…

Today's Google Doodle features a short animated version of Stephen Hawking's life story. Google Today’s Google Doodle honors the late physicist Stephen Hawking on his 80th birthday. Hawking was a renowned cosmologist, and he spent his career theorizing about the origins of the universe, the underlying structure of reality, and…

In 1997, cosmologists Stephen Hawking, Kip Thorne and John Preskill made a famous bet as to whether information that enters a black hole ceases to exist. Hawking and Thorne bet that information that enters a black hole is destroyed, while Preskill took the opposite view. Hawking’s research suggested that the…

I learned so much about dating last year. Like, if they have their full name on Hinge, take this as permission to browse their tagged pictures on Instagram. That way you can see the closest approximation of what they actually look like. Don’t, however, go on their Facebook page and…

Astronomers using the Multi Unit Spectroscopic Explorer (MUSE) instrument on ESO’s Very Large Telescope have discovered a low-mass black hole in the Large Magellanic Cloud, a satellite galaxy of the Milky Way, some 160,000 light-years away. This artist’s impression shows NGC 1850 BH1 and a massive star orbiting it. The…

If Bright Memory: Infinite has one thing, it’s bombast. It’s a game where at one point you jump and electro-grapple onto an in-flight plane as it careens into a black hole, but it’s also a game where you can easily miss the poorly telegraphed jump three times in a row…

Using the European Southern Observatory’s Very Large Telescope (ESO’s VLT), astronomers have discovered a small black hole outside the Milky Way by looking at how it influences the motion of a star in its close vicinity. This is the first time this detection method has been used to reveal the…

Astrophysicists from the LIGO-Virgo-KAGRA Collaboration have detected a further 35 gravitational waves since the last catalog release in October 2020, bringing to 90 the total number of observed events since gravitational-wave observations began. Of the 35 events detected, thirty two were most likely to be black hole mergers — two…
