Supermassive Black Hole At Centre Of Our Galaxy Is Pulsing Every 76 Minutes. Here's What It Means
The gamma-ray of the black hole named Sagittarius A* is fluctuating and is similar in periodicity in changes to the black hole's radio and X-ray emission.

Dormant Black Hole Deemed ‘Needle in a Haystack’ Identified Outside the Milky Way
Astronomers have identified a black hole that not only is classified as dormant but appears to have been born without the explosion of a dying star, in a galaxy adjacent to the Milky Way. Black holes are extraordinarily dense objects with gravity so intense not even light can escape. Deemed a cosmic "needle in a haystack", the newly discovered ‘d...

Rogue Black Hole or Neutron Star: Scientists Puzzled With New Interstellar Object in the Milky Way Galaxy
A team of astronomers from the University of California, Berkeley have reached a conclusion to substantiate the idea of detecting a rogue black hole in the Milky Way. The object is more likely to be a neutron star than a rogue black hole. The team of astronomers led by Casey Lam and Jessica Lu of the University of California, Berkeley, used astron...

This Stunning Yacht Design With A Massive Eye Is Inspired By "Black Hole"
A yacht design by an Indian company is fast catching everyone's attention. The 110-metre vessel, named Zion, features a stunning glass dome that looks like a gigantic eye and offers a 180-degree viewing experience to travellers.

NASA's Hubble Captures Malnourished Black Hole at Core of Spiral Galaxy NGC 3147 in Draco Constellation
NASA's Hubble Space Telescope has recently shared images of a spiral galaxy named NGC 3147. This majestic galaxy is located about 130 million light-years away in the constellation Draco, also called the "dragon". The image shows the galaxy's graceful, winding arms appear like a grand spiral staircase sweeping through space. In reality, these spiral...

Researchers Find New Way to Measure Void in Pair of Merging Supermassive Black Holes
Two Columbia University researchers have invented a method of observing into the void between a pair of supermassive black holes that may be more convenient than previous ways. With this new development, astronomers may be able to study black holes smaller than Messier 87 in galaxies further away.

See These Iconic Images of Dust Filled Disks of Galaxies Captured by Hubble
NASA's Hubble Instagram page shared iconic Hubble images that captured disks of dust fuelling black holes at the centres of galaxies. The first image showed a giant disk of cold gas dust fuelling a black hole at the centre of an elliptical galaxy, named NGC 4261.

"Powehi": The Name Of The First-Ever Photographed Black Hole
The first-ever black hole to be photographed has been named "Powehi". The name Powehi, meaning embellished dark source of unending creation, was deliberated upon by astronomers and renowned Hawaiian language professor, Larry Kimura.

Orbiting Supermassive Black Holes Discovered for First Time
"For a long time, we've been looking into space to try and find a pair of these supermassive black holes orbiting as a result of two galaxies merging."

NASA discovers new black hole in Milky Way
NASA's Swift satellite has found evidence of the presence of a previously unknown stellar-mass black hole in our Milky Way galaxy. Named Swift J1745-26 after the coordinates of its sky position, the nova is located a few degrees from the centre of our galaxy towards the constellation Sagittarius, NASA said.
