45 years worth of radio telescope observations have identified a pair of supermassive black holes at the core of two galaxies set to merge.
Results for "black holes"
Dark matter could be composed of primordial black holes
A new theory for the origin and nature of dark matter resolves some inconsistencies between cosmological predictions and astronomical data.
Physicists identify a quantum membrane in merging black holes
The existence of a quantum membrane is predicted by some theories of gravity, and scientists might be one step closer to identifying one.
Black holes take 2020 Nobel prize in physics
Three laureates share this year’s Nobel prize in physics for their discoveries about one of the most exotic phenomena in the universe: the black hole.
Black hole images deliver a deathblow to alternative theory of gravity
Images of the supermassive black holes wouldn’t have been possible if mimetic gravity was the right recipe for gravity.
Black hole jet lights up dead stars like a cosmic blowtorch
Using the Hubble Space Telescope, astronomers discovered the jet from a black hole, triggering nova explosions along its path.
Glimmers in the cosmic dawn: New observations challenge theory of supermassive black hole formation
Hubble’s deep near-infrared campaign reveals more supermassive black holes in the early universe than previously expected.
Super-black material created from etched wood
This material absorbs more than 99% of the light that strikes it, making it useful in applications ranging from solar energy to astronomy.
Astronomers witness the reawakening of a black hole
Imagine observing a distant galaxy for years when suddenly its core begins exhibiting unprecedented changes.
Black hole morsels could make Hawking radiation detectable with current telescopes
During the tumultuous mergers of black holes, smaller black holes called morsels could produce detectable Hawking radiation.
