Astronomers confirm Einstein’s gravity by viewing light from behind a supermassive black hole
Astronomers detected delayed X-ray flashes consistent with light reflected from the far side of an accretion disk and…
Scientists Find a New Way To Hear the Faint “Ringing” of Black Holes
When two black holes collide and merge, they release gravitational waves. These waves can be detected by sensitive…
Three Supermassive Black Holes Found in a Galaxy From the Dawn of the Universe
An AI-generated visualization of a distant galaxy, containing, besides dust, gas, and young stars, three massive, active black…

A star spinning at 15,000 miles per second tests Einstein theory of relativity
The Milky Way galaxy is anchored by a supermassive black hole named Sagittarius A*, that has a mass…
ATLAS breaks its own record with new search for double-Higgs production
Producing two Higgs bosons in a single proton-proton collision is among the rarest processes at the LHC. Yet…

Hubble and Webb uncover Omega Centauri’s first stellar-mass black hole after 23 years of observations
For decades, Omega Centauri has presented astronomers with a paradox. The Milky Way’s largest globular cluster contains roughly…
Optical fiber black hole model emits Hawking-like radiation, revealing a long-sought recoil
Using optical fiber as a model black hole, physicists have, after decades of pursuit, observed two linked effects…
