Collaboration has achieved the highest-resolution Earth-based observations to date, detecting light at 345 GHz from the centers of distant galaxies. This breakthrough marks the first time the EHT has ...

A black hole is a region in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape, formed from collapsed massive stars. Black holes form when massive stars collapse under their ...

This suggests that NGC 5084 is host to a supermassive black hole tipped on its side, and scientists think it could be evidence of a galactic collision in NGC 5084’s recent past.

At that time, it began emitting radio waves at 60 times the previous intensity over just a few months, behavior which has never been monitored in real time for a supermassive black hole.

“Normally, this level of radio emission would tell us that there are jets,” she said — a statement corroborated by a subsequent year of high-resolution radio images centered on the ...

The images show the Perseus Cluster and the Centaurus Cluster, each with a central black hole appearing as a bright white dot surrounded by patches and filaments of gas. In each image, a patch of ...

"The launch of a black hole jet has never been observed before in real-time," discovery team leader and University ... As seen above, the radio images of 1ES 1927+654 collected from February, April, ...
