For the first time, astronomers have captured an image of the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy.

Earths planet-scale observatory network, best known for creating the first-ever image of a black hole, is ready to report new results about the center of our Milky Way galaxy.

Black holes aren't always in the dark. Astronomers have spotted intense light shows shining from just outside the event horizon of supermassive black holes, including the one at our galaxy's core. However, scientists couldn't identify the cause...

One of the biggest objectives of the telescope is to reveal the true nature of the black hole lurking at the centre of our Milky Way galaxy.

    In 2019 astronomers lifted the veil on the monster black hole called Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) at the heart of our Milky Way Galaxy. Using computer modelling, astronomers  to simulated the material inside the thick cloud of plasma, dust and gas surrounding Sgr A*.  The results pointed to the possibility of a relativistic jet coming from the supermassive black hole with an inclination that is aligned with Earth’s viewing point.  The Unveiling An international team of astronomers recent...

Study Reveals Unobserved Structures, Impact of Black Hole on its Surroundings Written by AZoQuantumApr 15 2021 The first-ever image of a black hole—the supermassive black hole found at the core of the M87 galaxy—was captured by an international collaboration of researchers in 2019 by using a worldwide collection of radio telescopes known as the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT). Image Credit: EHT Collaboration, NASA/Swift, NASA/Fermi, Caltech-NuSTAR, CXC, CfA-VERITAS, MAGIC, and HESS. The M87 g...

New images of the first black hole photograph reveals more insights   It shoots jets that produce light spanning the entire electromagnetic spectrum  Experts suspect jets could be responsible for cosmic rays and although more observations are needed, the team speculates black holes could be the source Black holes also have unique patterns based on the intensity of light it produces  These patterns could reveals what is powering the giant jets to shoot out 

Share In April 2019, scientists released the first image of a black hole in the galaxy M87 using the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT). However, that remarkable achievement was just the beginning of the science story to be told. McGill University astronomers were part of this global effort. Data from 19 observatories are now being released that promise to give unparalleled insight into this black hole and the system it powers, and to improve tests of Einstein’s General Theory of Relativity. “We...
