Scientists have discovered something unprecedented near the black hole M87*: its magnetic field has flipped direction between 2017 and 2021.

A fresh black hole merger detection has offered the clearest evidence yet for Einstein’s relativity and Hawking’s predictions. Scientists tracked the complete cosmic collision, confirming that black ...

The magnetic fields are more than a thousand times stronger than the magnetic field used in MRI machines. Multiple victims reported in shooting at Michigan church, suspect is "down," authorities say ...

M87* is a supermassive black hole in a galaxy 55 million light-years away with a mass around 6.5 billion times the mass of the Sun. As the first subject of the Event Horizon collaboration's mission to ...

Strangely sharp circles of radio waves in space have puzzled astronomers since their surprise discovery in 2019. Now, a team has analyzed one closely in hopes that it might give up its secrets. Firing ...

A series of observations between 2017 and 2021 suggest the supermassive structure’s magnetized plasma is more dynamic than thought ...

Event Horizon Telescope data reveal the magnetic field around M87* shifted, weakened and then flipped, defying theoretical expectations.

In April 2019, the world witnessed the first-ever image of a black hole, unveiling M87*, a supermassive black hole at the center of galaxy M87. This achievement, made possible by the Event Horizon ...

New observations of M87*, the first black hole ever imaged, revealed that the supermassive blackhole has experienced several magnetic flips in the last decade.
