The Difficult Task of Photographing Black Holes

In April 2017, eight radio telescopes focused on two black holes located in different areas, as researchers wanted to learn more about the elusive objects. This project is known as the Event Horizon Telescope, and the results of the research…

Astronomers Uncover a New Type of Black Holes

Black holes are some of the most elusive objects in the universe. Albert Einstein anticipated their existence more than one century ago, but the first picture of a black hole was recorded in April 2019 by the Event Horizon Telescope.…

Hawking’s Resolution on Invisible Spheres Has Been Proven to Be Correct

Stephen Hawking’s prediction for the invisible spheres he observed throughout his life has proven to be correct. A team of researchers reported that a fluid which traps sound, similar to a black hole that absorbs light, emits a shapeless gamut…

Black Holes Can Revive Dead Stars, But Only Temporarily

The cosmos is a mysterious place. Researchers have discovered that black holes can revive dead stars. More specifically, only “close encounters” with medium-sized black holes could temporarily bring dead stars back to life. That, at least, is the conclusion of new research…

Neutron Stars Never Form Black Holes – The Scientists Reveal Why

According to science, at least in theory, black holes formation is quite straightforward. When a star dies and explodes, it will collapse into itself compacting a large mass into a small volume, and this is the basis of a black…

Wormholes Collisions Present Detectable Gravitational Echoes

Scientists recently debated wormholes in a study and noticed that wormholes collisions could be detected by listening to the gravitational echoes they emit. But, in theory, many of the known black holes might, in fact, be wormholes. The majority of known…

Neutron Stars Collision May Have Resulted Into The Smallest Black Hole Ever Seen

The very first witnessed collision of two star remains, commonly referred to as neutron stars, has most likely produced the weakest black hole ever detected, according to the scientists’ report of the event, published on June 1st in the Astrophysical…
