Black Hole Blues: At the Edge of Time, Space, and No Return

Black Hole is an entity which produces so strong force of gravity that nothing even light can escape.

Israeli, international astronomers detect Milky Way's second-largest known black hole

Gaia BH3 is the largest-known stellar black hole, according to astronomer and study co-author Tsevi Mazeh of the Tel Aviv University in Israel.

 This artist’s impression shows the record-breaking quasar J059-4351, the bright core of a distant galaxy that is powered by a supermassive black hole.

Twisted magnetic field observed around Milky Way's central black hole

Black holes are extraordinarily dense objects with gravity so strong that not even light can escape, making viewing them extremely challenging.

 This image shows the polarised view of the Milky Way black hole. The lines overlaid on this image mark the orientation of polarisation, which is related to the magnetic field around the shadow of the black hole.

Researchers find 'excessively' large red supermassive black hole in early universe - study

A large and red supermassive black hole was found in a distant galaxy during the early years of the universe is excessively big for its galaxy, raising more questions about early galaxy formation.

This is the universe's brightest light, fueled by the hungriest black hole - study

Scientists have found a gigantic quasar 500 trillion times brighter than the Sun, fueled by the fastest-growing black hole known to exist.

Our galaxy's supermassive black hole makes spacetime look like a football - study

Getting in the Super Bowl spirit? Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the heart of our galaxy, spins so fast that it makes spacetime around it shaped like a football.

 This artist's illustration shows a cross-section of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way, warping spacetime to look like a football.

Black holes existed since the dawn of time, study finds in major discovery - study

Scientists using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope found that black holes actually created stars and galaxies in the early universe, in a study that rewrites our understanding of the universe.

 This artist's concept shows a supermassive black hole at the center of a remote galaxy digesting the remnants of a star.

Origin of intense light in supermassive black holes and tidal disruption events revealed by study

The new study by The Hebrew University of Jerusalem is a significant “breakthrough” for understanding Tidal Disruption Events (TDEs) involving supermassive black holes.

A star disrupted by a supermassive black hole. As the star wanders past the black hole, the tidal field of the hole rips apart the star. The picture shows the result of the simulation carried out by Steinberg and Stone.

Supernovae give rise to black holes or neutron stars, finds Israeli-led team

The connection was long suspected, but the direct link was elusive until now.

Black hole is observed snacking on sun-like star, bite by bite

This marked the first time that scientists had observed a sun-like star being repeatedly snacked upon by a supermassive black hole.

Scientists spot edge of supermassive black hole for first time accidentally - study

Supermassive black holes sit at the center of many galaxies and are often surrounded by accretion disks that they feed on. Scientists observed a previously unexplored region near one – by accident.
