Using the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), astronomers have gotten the first-ever look at the light of ancient stars shining around some of the biggest, brightest and oldest black holes in the ...
Gargantuan black holes have been spotted firing powerful beams of supercharged particles that change direction slowly over millions of years These supermassive black holes were spotted by NASA's ...
A Death Star is born. As if regular old star-gobbling black holes weren’t terrifying enough, scientists discovered that certain types swivel around and shoot beams at various objects in the ...
May 29, 2024 — Researchers have applied the well-understood and highly verified quantum field theory, usually applied to the study of the very small, to a new target, the early universe.
A prediction originally made by Albert Einstein about a "plunging region" around black holes has finally been confirmed. Researchers from Oxford University in the United Kingdom discovered that ...
The eccentricity in the orbits of these black holes, detected using gravitational waves, could tell the story of their creation. Black hole week reaches its conclusion today (May 10), and there's ...
NASA reveals what it would be like to get sucked into a black hole Researchers have finally confirmed one of Albert Einstein’s key predictions about gravity after observing a “plunging region ...
Over 100 years on, scientists have finally confirmed one of Albert Einstein's theories about the nature of black holes. In 1915, Einstein predicted that black holes should have a 'plunging ...
A James Webb Telescope image shows the J0148 quasar circled in red. Two insets show, on top, the central black hole, and on bottom, the stellar emission from the host galaxy. A team of MIT astronomers ...
A new study by an international team led by researchers at Oxford University Physics has provided the first observational proof of a key prediction from Einstein’s theory of gravity regarding ...
These results were possible thanks to JWST's superior sharpness and resolution. Over 120 hours of telescope time, the team observed six quasars, all estimated to be around 13 billion years old ...
