Astronomers studying elusive supermassive black ... Event Horizon Telescope, an expanded version of EHT that astronomers hope will capture not just images but also videos of black holes.

A black hole infamous for strange features has once again baffled astronomers, this time with rapid X-ray flashes. What could they be?

The first image of M87* — and humanity's first image of any black hole, for that matter — was taken by the EHT in 2017 and released to the public in 2019. It was notable for its bright golden ring, ...

For half a century, astrophysicists have been trying to solve the Black Hole Information Paradox—first explained by Stephen Hawking in 1976—which posits that black holes destroy information. That ...

Astronomers are now confident the Event Horizon Telescope can help them decode elusive origins of black hole jets.

“This tells us that objects like white dwarfs may be able to live very close to an event horizon for a relatively extended period of time.” The black hole, the official name of which is a ...
