Black hole News

NASA's super computer simulation allows you to peer into the inner zone of the accretion disk of a stellar-mass black hole. The simulation is based on a new study by astronomers at NASA, John Hopkins University and the Rochester Institute of Technology.

New research conducted using NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory confirms what scientists have long suspected—that the unusual amount of X-ray sources emanating from the center of the Andromeda galaxy are the signatures of dozens of black holes.

A new study shows that supermassive black holes at the center of galaxies are growing at a much faster rate than thought. The study suggests SMBHs do not grow primarily by galactic mergers as previously thought but by absorbing matter piecemeal.

NASA scientists believe they may have found the youngest black hole in the Milky Way galaxy formed only about 1,000 years ago, and it is not very far away from Earth, only about 26,000 light-years away.

Scientists with NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory have discovered what is believed to be the newest black hole to have formed in the Milky Way galaxy.

Famous people are often asked to star in ads, but would you believe that Stephen Hawking chose to star in an auto insurance ad? And not only that, even end the ad with an evil chuckle?

Antofagasta - Scientists have announced the discovery of what they believe to be a record-breaking blast of gas and dust being ejected from a black hole more than 11.5 billion light-years away.

The Trapezium of stars that make up the famed Orion's Sword of the Nebula Cluster of the same namesake have always been cloaked in mystery regarding their rapid movement. Scientists say they may have found the culprit: a Black Hole of 200 solar masses.

University Park - NASA announced that their Swift satellite recorded a rising tide of high-energy X-rays, revealing the existence of a previously unknown black hole near the center of the Milky Way Galaxy.

Pasadena - NASA has launched an X-ray space telescope to study black holes and other hard-to-see objects in our galaxy in more detail.
