In a first, scientists reveal image of giant black hole at Milky Way's center

The black hole possesses 4 million times the mass of our sun. Black holes are extraordinarily dense objects that even light cannot pass through. The diameter of Sagittarius A* is about 17 times that of the sun.

NASA releases new audio that comes out of black hole- Check here

NASA used the sonification technology and interpreted the astronomical data into the sound The black hole whose data has been sonified is at the center of the Perseus galaxy cluster It is a popular misconception that there is no sound as most of the space is essentially a vacuum

Astronomers detect first-ever collision between neutron star and black hole

Black holes and neutron stars are mysterious celestial objects which are formed from the death of a star The mergers occurred almost a billion years ago far from the Earth, and the chirps only reached us recently

Black hole's magnetic field mapped for the first time, see spectacular images

In a first, astronomers have captured astonishing image of black hole's magnetic fields Images have been released by the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) It revealed how the black hole, some 55 million light-years away at the centre of galaxy M87, appears in polarised light.

Black hole devours Sun-sized star, astronomers capture exact moment: Watch

In a rare incident, astronomers have captured the exact moment in which a massive black hole devoured a Sun-sized star by a process called 'spaghettification'. A rare blast of light from a star being ripped apart by a supermassive black hole was spotted using telescopes from the European Southern Observatory (ESO). The phenomenon, known as a tidal disruption event, is the closest such flare recorded to date at just over 215 million light-years from Earth.

Gravitational wave from merger of 2 black holes over 7 billion yrs ago detecte

The team reports that this merger "appears to be the most massive yet" and the two black holes that merged had masses "about 85 and 66 times the mass of the sun." The brief signal detected by scientists lasted less than a tenth of a second, the LIGO Scientific Collaboration (LSC) reported.

What happens when a black hole does not intervene in life of a galaxy cluster

A new study conducted by a team of astronomers has revealed what can happen when a giant black hole fails to intervene in the life of a galaxy cluster. The study showed that passive black hole behavior could help in understanding a remarkable torrent of star formation occurring in a distant cluster of galaxies. It is to be noted that galaxy clusters are made up of hundreds or thousands of galaxies pervaded by hot, X-ray emitting gas.

Record-breaking explosion spotted by astronomers in universe

Astronomers have spotted a record-breaking explosion created by a black hole some 390 million light-years away in the universe. According to CNN.com, this record-breaking, gargantuan explosion came from a black hole in a distant galaxy cluster hundreds of millions of light-years away, the astronomers said.

Scientists find monster black hole that 'should not exist' in Milky Way

A team of Chinese astronomers have discovered a black hole so gigantic in the Milky Way galaxy, that it has contradicted the existing models of star evolution.

'Cloaked' black hole discovered in early universe

According to current theories, a dense cloud of gas feeds material into the disk surrounding a supermassive black hole during its period of early growth, which "cloaks" or hides much of the quasar's bright light from our view.

Plasma-spewing black hole dragging spacetime

The jets appear to be rapidly rotating with high-speed clouds of plasma -- potentially just minutes apart -- shooting out of the black hole in different directions.
