Years of data analysis and new imaging techniques revealed an unusual phenomenon in NGC 5084: a supermassive black hole with ...
A new study could provide the solution to the grandfather paradox that has plagued time travel theories for decades.
An animation showing how the magnetic field crossing the black hole’s event horizon twists up as as the black hole rotates more quickly. A faster-rotating black hole `winds up’ the magnetic ...
Even more surprisingly, both the disk and black hole were rotating at a 90-degree angle relative to the rest of the galaxy, meaning both features are essentially "lying on their sides," NASA said.
More specifically, through a large, rotating black hole, which is where these types of singularities exist. Now, astronomers obviously can't travel through a black hole yet to test this theory.
In 1963, Roy Kerr, a New Zealand-based mathematician proposed a set of equations that explain the properties of rotating ...
NASA researchers have discovered a perplexing case of a black hole that appears to be "tipped over," rotating in an unexpected direction relative to the galaxy surrounding it. That galaxy ...
Supermassive black holes typically rotate with the galactic ... contains an X-shaped X-ray plume and a dusky disk of material rotating 90-degrees from the orientation of the galactic plane.
NASA scientists have discovered a tilted black hole in galaxy NGC 5084, a finding made possible by a new image analysis technique called SAUNAS. This black hole, whose unusual orientation was ...
In contrast, the supermassive black hole in galaxy M87, the first ever photographed, spun at 0.89 to 0.91 despite a mass equivalent to 6.5 billion suns. The interaction of light with a rotating ...
