Supermassive black hole mergers occur when entire galaxies merge together. Bumps and kinks in the Milky Way's disk indicate it likely collided with at least a dozen galaxies during the past 12 ...

The colossal black hole lurking at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is spinning almost as fast as its maximum rotation rate ...

A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge ...

Using machine learning to analyse data from the Event Horizon Telescope, researchers found the black hole at the centre of our galaxy is spinning almost as fast as possible ...

What the researchers discovered is that the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole is spinning somewhere between .84 and .96, close to the top limit that our current model of black holes allows for.

For example, astronomers have observed unusual motions of stars and unexplained mass distributions within it, which could be the result of the gravitational pull of a central black hole. In other ...

A new census reveals that 35% of supermassive black holes are hidden behind dust, disrupting major galactic models.

Could Mysterious Black Hole Burps Rewrite Physics?

The study focused on two black holes — our galaxy's Sgr A* and M87*, located 55 million light-years away. Both were previously imaged by the global EHT project.

Astronomers at the University of Hawaii uncovered black hole events so packed with energy, they were the biggest explosions ...
