The detailed mechanisms of how matter from beyond the event horizon falls into a black hole have been revealed in a new paper. As predicted by Einstein’s theory of gravity, there is a point at which material stops circling the black hole and falls straight down, suddenly plunging beyond the point of no return. Now … Read more
Black holes are some of the most enigmatic objects in the universe, capable of warping the fabric of space around them so violently that not even light can escape their gravity. But it turns out that much of what scientists know about these mysterious objects could be wrong. This is evident from new research published … Read more

CNN — Albert Einstein was right: there is a region at the edge of black holes where matter can no longer remain in orbit and instead falls inward, as predicted by his theory of gravity. … Read more
Astronomers have taken advantage of the James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) to detect the furthest pair of colliding black holes in the known universe. The cosmic monsters – each estimated to be around 50 million suns in size – were discovered more than 13 billion light-years away, at a time just 740 million years after … Read more
