After years of work and a whole lot of hype, researchers working with the Event Horizon Telescope project finally unveiled the very first image ever captured of an actual black hole this week. The ...
Artist's impression of the Sun-like star (left) and black hole (top right) in the Gaia BH1 system The star and black hole orbit each other with a period of 185.59 days and an eccentricity of 0.45. The star is similar to the Sun , with about 0.93 M ☉ and 0.99 R ☉ , and a temperature of about 5,850 K (5,580 °C ; 10,070 °F ), while the black ...
The famous first picture of the supermassive black hole at the heart of our galaxy might not be accurate, a new study has claimed. The picture – initially published in 2022, after years of ...
What does a black hole look like? Black, probably. And big. That sounds pretty vague, but as the gravitational forces of a black hole are so strong even light is overpowered by them, we've never ...
Sagittarius A*, abbreviated as Sgr A* (/ ˈ s æ dʒ ˈ eɪ s t ɑːr / SADGE-AY-star [3]), is the supermassive black hole [4] [5] [6] at the Galactic Center of the Milky Way.Viewed from Earth, it is located near the border of the constellations Sagittarius and Scorpius, about 5.6° south of the ecliptic, [7] visually close to the Butterfly Cluster (M6) and Lambda Scorpii.
This is a list of known black holes that are close to the Solar System. It is thought that most black holes are solitary, but black holes in binary or larger systems are much easier to detect. [1] Solitary black holes can generally only be detected by measuring their gravitational distortion of the light from more

Black holes have previously been spotted orbiting with one other star or one other black hole in what are called binary systems. But this is the first known instance of a triple system with a ...
