Polarized light from Sagittarius A*, our galaxy's supermassive black hole, shows swirling magnetic fields that may hint at ...
The monster black hole, which weighs the equivalent of about 50 million suns and lives in the heart of a galaxy 800 million ...
Scientists created a giant vortex made of tiny quantum parts in a helium superfluid just a few degrees above absolute zero.
NASA's Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) space observatory has had a problem, prompting engineers on the ground to ...
Spectacular New Image Shows Milky Way Black Hole's Magnetic Fields. Scientists have taken us from the Earth to the black hole ...
Earth was hit by radiation from double X-class solar flare, resulting in the strongest geomagnetic storm in six years.
NASA's Chandra X-ray Observatory has captured an image of a quasar, identified as H1821+643, which is a rapidly growing ...
Mar. 20, 2024 — Scientists have created a giant quantum vortex to mimic a black hole in superfluid helium that has allowed them to see in greater detail how analogue black holes behave and ...
When they get close, the remnant black hole typically gets a kick equal to the speed Earth orbits our Sun. Typically, that speed isn’t enough to break the supermassive black hole from its orbit ...
Largest-Ever Map of Universe's Active Supermassive Black Holes Released Mar. 18, 2024 — Astronomers have charted the largest-ever volume of the universe with a new map of active supermassive ...
The Chandra X-ray Observatory faces a premature end under new funding cuts proposed by NASA—and astronomers aren’t happy ...
Nothing at all. Clearly, black holes can't be dragged down to Earth, so these effects can be studied in the lab — but a research team, led by University of Nottingham scientists, has done the ...
