Black Holes

The first image of the behemoth at the center of our galaxy opens new avenues for understanding the nature of black holes

Mysterious “islands” help to explain what happens to information that falls into a black hole

Recent theoretical and observational results have revealed new secrets about these shadowy objects, with deep implications for more than just black holes themselves

These fun stories show progress from the scale of quantum effects to that of snakes and from Earth to the edge of the universe

We do not have a theory to tell us everything about how a black hole works, but new research is shedding a least some light on one of their many mysteries.

Black holes, wormholes, entanglement, Einstein, mysterious islands and new science that sees how the inside of a black hole is secretly on the outside.

It took hundreds of researchers and many telescopes to capture an image of the black hole at the middle of our Milky Way.
