Using the mathematics of Einstein's 1915 theory of gravity, called general relativity, scientists can model the interior of a black hole.The problem is that, when they do this, general relativity ...

Mergers fuel the most energetic black holes, but not all black holes are fed by gas from a merger. In spiral galaxies, for example, less gas tends to fall into the center, and the central black ...

Feb. 19, 2025 — Within the Dark Energy Spectroscopic Instrument's early data, scientists have uncovered the largest samples ever of intermediate-mass black holes and dwarf galaxies hosting an ...

In fact, these strong X-ray emissions led to the discovery of the first black hole, Cygnus X-1 in the constellation Cygnus, in 1964. If all this sounds like science fiction, read on. It's only the ...

"This messy eater, contrary to a black hole's typical all-consuming reputation, is blowing out powerful winds of material," ESO officials added. The recent VLT observations were taken as part of a ...
