A black hole is a region in space where gravity is so strong that nothing, not even light, can escape, formed from collapsed massive stars. Black holes form when massive stars collapse under their ...

This supermassive black hole-food cooling process was discovered by astronomers using NASA's Chandra X-ray telescope and the Very Large Telescope (VLT) to observe some of the universe's most ...

Black holes captivate scientists and the public. NASA's advanced technology provides visual glimpses into these mysteries, showcasing stunning images that reveal the universe's secrets.

NASA has turned pressure waves emanating from a black hole at the centre of the Perseus galaxy cluster into notes audible to humans. The sound waves were extracted along the radius of the galaxy ...

NASA created a haunting audio clip of sound waves rippling out of a supermassive black hole, located 250 million light-years away. The black hole is at the center of the Perseus cluster of ...

Jets from black holes trigger cooling in the hot gas, causing it to condense into warm filaments. These filaments then flow toward the black hole, feeding it, and the cycle repeats. Brightness ...

The full Chandra image, with C4 circled in yellow. (NASA/CXC/SAO/D. Bogensberger et al.) It also has a very active supermassive black hole and is bursting with star formation, one of the closest ...

This discovery enhances the understanding of black holes' interactions with their environments and their role in galaxy evolution, facilitated by advanced imaging techniques from NASA and the VLT.

Detecting hidden black holes is tough. Thick gas and dust obscure light, making these cosmic giants invisible to many telescopes. NASA’s study brings new techniques to uncover them. NASA’s ...
