The simulation shows a camera heading toward a black hole -- similar to the one at the center of our galaxy -- that's surrounded by a flat, swirling cloud of hot gas called an accretion disk.

Black holes are always fascinating, and a new simulation adds to their mystery. You likely did not previously associate them ...

The simulation then flies through a complex tangle of merging galaxies before zooming into an active supermassive black hole, or quasar, circled by an accretion disk, which is shown feeding gas to ...

That black hole is about 4.3 million times the mass of our sun, and it can effectively bend the space around it. Overall, NASA said the project took roughly five days to complete while only using ...

The destination of the simulation is a virtual supermassive black hole with a mass 4.3 million times that of Earth's sun, a size equivalent to the monster Sagittarius A* located at the center of ...

Some physicists think our reality is a kind of cosmic hologram, with space, time, and gravity as manifestations of a ...

Binary black holes, systems consisting of two black holes in close orbit around each other, synchronize their spins before they merge together, according to new research.. The moment creates a ...

By using light to emulate the structure of space-time, researchers can better understand black holes – and the exotic objects ...

Stars that wander too close to supermassive black holes may be violently undone in a process called "spaghettification." New simulations provide the most detailed look ever at the gory interaction.

space Experience what falling into a black hole would be like with new NASA simulation The project, which NASA completed in around five days, would have taken more than a decade to create on a ...
