Could we send a spacecraft to a black hole? This is what a recent study published in iScience hopes to address as a team of researchers investigated the feasibility of sending a spacecraft at the ...

It sounds like science fiction: a spacecraft, no heavier than a paperclip, propelled by a laser beam and hurtling through space at the speed of light toward a black hole, on a mission to probe the ...

An ancient, fast-feeding quasar is breaking the rules of how black holes consume matter and generate galaxy-shaping jets.

A visionary plan proposes sending a paperclip-sized spacecraft, powered by Earth-based lasers, to a nearby black hole within a century. Led by astrophysicist Cosimo Bambi, the mission would test the ...

Astronomers have confirmed the first isolated stellar-mass black hole drifting through the Milky Way, located roughly 5,000 ...

Scientists have traced a 3,000-light-year-long cosmic jet streaming out from the first black hole ever imaged to its likely source point with the help of "significantly enhanced coverage" from the ...

What kind of physics is happening inside a black hole? Scientists have a lot of ideas, but taking any concrete measurements is borderline impossible—that is, unless you want to be spaghettified or ...
