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.

A new computer simulation flies through tangled galaxies and zooms in on a black hole to dissect how these voids feats on surrounding matter.

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 simulation shows what happens as the viewer approaches the black hole, eventually falling into the “point of no return.” You can see the video for yourself below.

A groundbreaking simulation reveals how neutron star mergers forge black holes, generate gamma-ray bursts, and scatter gold ...

Black holes are always fascinating, and a new simulation adds to their mystery. You likely did not previously associate them with fluffy angel-food cake, but researchers at Caltech recently put ...

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 ...

An artist's impression of a moderately warm star — not at all what a black hole with a hot accretion disc would be like. (Image credit: Merikanto/Wikimedia Commons, CC BY-SA) But to everyone's ...

HOLE IN ONE Horrifying black hole simulation shows what ‘spaghettification’ looks like when objects fall into ‘extreme ... A black hole is a region of space where absolutely nothing can escape; ...
