Nasa Black Hole

The MIT-led AXIS mission, a finalist in NASA's Probe Explorers competition, is set to investigate the origins of black holes and the universe's high-energy events. Featuring advanced X-ray technology, AXIS will push cosmic boundaries in search of answers to some of astrophysics' most profound questions. If approved, the $1 billion mission will revo...

NASA has introduced the prototype telescope for its LISA mission, set to detect gravitational waves from space. This mission, a collaboration with the European Space Agency, involves spacecraft using lasers to measure precise distances, enabling the detection of cosmic events like black hole mergers. The prototype telescope, which arrived at NASA...

A team using the James Webb Space Telescope has discovered supermassive black hole-powered quasars in unexpectedly isolated environments. These lonely quasars, some of the earliest in the universe, present a mystery as they lack the dense surroundings that current theories suggest are needed for black hole growth. This discovery is pushing scientis...

Researchers from NASA and India’s ISRO have collaborated to study the interaction between a massive black hole and a star that ventured too close. Using multiple observatories, including AstroSat, they discovered the link between tidal disruption events and quasi-periodic eruptions. This research offers new insights into the expanding debris disk...

Astronomers have observed a spectacular cosmic event where a massive black hole is disrupting two celestial objects, one of which was a star.

NASA has selected two mission proposals for further study, focusing on X-ray and far-infrared wavelengths to explore key cosmic phenomena. The Advanced X-ray Imaging Satellite, led by Christopher Reynolds, will investigate supermassive black holes and galaxy evolution. The Probe Far-Infrared Mission, led by Jason Glenn, will examine planetary forma...

Acoustic waves coming from near the black hole at the heart of the Perseus cluster of galaxies were transposed up 57 and 58 octaves in order to make them audible for human ears.

An international team of researchers, led by scientists from Stockholm University's Department of Astronomy, has discovered a higher number of black holes in the early universe than was previously recorded. Using the NASA Hubble Space Telescope, this team found black holes among faint galaxies formed shortly after the Big Bang event.

NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has revealed surprising new details about the universe's reionization process. The telescope has found an unexpected oversupply of ultraviolet (UV) light emitted by early stars and giant black holes, contradicting previous theories. This discovery suggests a more complex reionization process, potentially d...

A team of National Aeronautics and Space Administration (NASA) scientists has discovered vast black holes that are "firing powerful beams of particles into space".

This simulation will help us dive into the event horizon, the boundary beyond which nothing, not even light, can escape. 

Using Webb, the team also found indications of ionised chemical elements typically observed near accreting supermassive black holes.

Scientists have been unable to determine Sgr A*'s exact rotational speed, but they are certain that it weighs roughly four million times that of the Sun.

India will begin the New Year today with an effort to solve one of the biggest mysteries of the universe -- black holes. A rocket will lift off today carrying an advanced astronomy observatory meant to study black holes and neutron stars.

The massive black hole is thought to have been formed by the collapse of gas clouds in a nearby galaxy that included stars.
