But in the past two decades, new types of black holes have been seen and astronomers are beginning to understand how they ...

To resolve the black hole, they used the Event Horizon Telescope, a global radio telescope array with an effective aperture the size of the Earth. One participating EHT telescope, highlighted here, is ...

By using light to emulate the structure of space-time, researchers can better understand black holes – and the exotic objects that mimic them ...

Black holes are places where gravity is so powerful that nothing — not even light — can escape. Rather than being empty, black holes are chock full of matter that gets squeezed into a teensy space.

Some physicists think our reality is a kind of cosmic hologram, with space, time, and gravity as manifestations of a ...

For years, scientists have theorized that some black holes could actually be wormholes, and a new study shows that this space-time mimicry could in fact be possible.

What are black holes and why are they so fascinating to scientists and all of us? Here's what to know about the strange phenomenon and why it matters.

Black holes: Beyond the singularity Can we do away with the troublesome singularity at the heart of black holes? A new paper in JCAP reimagines these extreme objects in light of current knowledge.

Astronomers have discovered a mysterious unknown object in our galaxy that could be a breakthrough in the study of black holes. The “extremely dense remnant of a collapsed star” lies ab… ...

Physicists suggest wormholes, hypothetical tunnels linking one part of the universe to another, might be disguised as black holes.

Study suggests that small black holes born in early universe may have left behind hollow planetoids and microscopic tunnels.

Black holes are cryptic cosmic objects with a center point of infinite density called a singularity. The gravity they wield is so powerful that beyond their outer boundary called the event horizon ...
