The universe’s expansion rate is accelerating across the cosmos, driven by a mysterious force known as dark energy, but perhaps this acceleration isn’t happening at the boundaries of black holes, new research suggests. Rather than implying that dark energy does not move around the boundaries of black holes, this idea suggests that this mysterious force… Read More »
If you’ve ever wondered what would happen if you were unlucky enough to fall into a black hole, NASA has an answer. To celebrate the start of black hole week on Monday, May 6, a visualization created on a NASA supercomputer takes the viewer on a one-way dive beyond a black hole’s event horizon. This… Read More »
Black holes have long attracted attention as celestial bodies from which nothing, not even light, can escape. However, theoretical physicists propose a less understood but equally fascinating counterpart: white hole. Unlike black holes that attracted matter, white holes repelled it. What are White Holes? In astrophysics, a white hole represents a theoretical phenomenon in which… Read More »
Event Horizon Telescope Allegation: A photo shared online in March 2024 shows the first image in polarized light of the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy. Evaluation: Rating: True Context: The photo showed the first image in polarized light of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy.… Read More »
Astronomers have observed a supermassive black hole in Earth’s cosmic backyard, shooting jets of matter at speeds close to the speed of light. These outbursts tell the story of the struggle for supremacy between magnetism and gravity. This discovery could help scientists better understand how black holes feed on matter and eject powerful jets that… Read More »
