Supermassive Black Hole at the Centre of the Milky Way Is Spinning Unexpectedly
Sagittarius A* (pronounced Sagittarius A Star), the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way, is spinning in an unusual way, and scientists now believe they may know why. Based on new data from the Event Horizon Telescope, researchers suggest that this cosmic giant likely merged with another black hole billions of years ago. This colo...

A Unique Collaboration Using a Virtual Earth-Sized Telescope Shows How Science Is Changing in the 21st Century
In 2019, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration produced the first-ever image of a black hole, stunning the world. Now, scientists are taking it further. The next generation Event Horizon Telescope (ngEHT) collaboration aims to create high-quality videos of black holes.

Bright Photon Ring Discovered in Remastered Image of Massive Black Hole: All Details
Researchers have discovered an image of a black hole in the M87 galaxy contains a photon ring that was not previously visible. The first-ever picture of a black hole was captured using the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) in 2019. When a beam of light passes close to the black hole, it tends to change its direction due to the warping of spacetime. The...

How The 1st Image Of The Supermassive Black Hole At Milky Way's Centre Was Captured
Black holes are among the most profound predictions of Einstein's theory of general relativity. They were originally studied as a mere mathematical consequence of the theory rather than as physically relevant objects.

How The EHT Super-Telescope Snapped The Supermassive Black Hole
Powerful enough to spot a golf ball on the moon, the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) is a network of radio dishes designed to detect the light cast when matter disappears into the maw of a black hole.

"A Game Changer": Indian Scientists Praise First-Ever Blackhole Images
"This is the first direct evidence of a black hole. That way, it is a game changer," said one of the Indian scientists.

First Black Hole Image Revealed by Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration
The world's first black hole images, taken by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT), have been revealed today. This is the first time anyone will see black hole pictures.

Black Holes May Finally Be Ready for Their Close-Up
The Event Horizon Telescope is a network of 10 radio telescopes on four continents that collectively operate like a single instrument nearly the size of the Earth.

Black Holes May Finally Be Ready For Their Close-Up
At precisely 13:00 Universal Time on Wednesday - 9 a.m. in the Eastern United States - scientists will hold simultaneous news conferences in Washington, D.C., Belgium, Denmark, Chile, Japan, China and Taiwan to reveal the long-awaited results of the Event Horizon Telescope. What everyone is expecting and hoping to see is the first direct image of a...

First Image of Black Hole Pieced Together by Astronomers
"Instead of building a telescope so big that it would probably collapse under its own weight, we combined eight observatories like the pieces of a giant mirror."

Astronomers Piece Together First Image Of Black Hole
After training a network of telescopes stretching from Hawaii to Antarctica to Spain at the heart of our galaxy for five nights running, astronomers said Wednesday they may have snapped the first-ever picture of a black hole.
