Giant Black Hole More Giant Than Thought
We've told you before about the black hole at the heart of the M87 galaxy that's brighter than its galaxy... but now scientists have discovered that it may be larger - and more available to us - than originally thought. More » -

Sonic Black Hole Swallows Every Sound It Hears
Imagine a giant tank that can roll into town emitting literally no sound. This could be the future of stealth warfare. Scientists have recently devised a "sonic black hole;" any sound that passes its edge can never come out again. More » -

The Burning Flare of Gas Being Devoured by a Supermassive Black Hole
Two separate telescopes in Chile picked up the same black hole flare recently, allowing them to see for the first time what it looks like when superheated gas orbits the black hole's event horizon as it is being devoured. The black hole in question is the Milky Way's own supermassive Sagittarius A*, with a mass of about four million times that of the Sun. More » -

The Tentacled Galaxy Where Cthulhu Was Spawned
NGC 1275 is a galaxy that basks in the sizzling heat of X-rays emitted by its many sister galaxies in the Perseus galaxy cluster. Not only does NGC 1275 have a supermassive black hole at its center, like any self-respecting galaxy would, but it also exhibits a very rare trait. Those pale purple tendrils of light you see are actually cooled gas that's been ejected by the black hole at its core, and their tentacley shape is caused by the magnetic fields connecting NGC 1275 with other local galaxies. This is a recent image taken by the Hubble Telescope, and it tells us a lot about galactic behavior. More » -

The Truth About Microscopic Black Holes and the Utter Destruction of Earth
Science fiction is rife with tales of experiments that run out of control and blow up the planet or exterminate all life or something. Maybe that's why two U.S. researchers sued the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN), trying to get an injunction that would prevent them from building their Large Hadron Collider. Their reason? Concern that it would create an apocalyptic mini-black hole here on Earth. Many debated whether their fears were pure cranksterism or held a grain of truth. Now a physics professor has researched the issue and discovered the truth about the LHC's inherent risks to all humanity. More » -

Look into the Black Hole at the Center of Our Galaxy
No it's not some Heidiggerian metaphor, that pushpin really does mark the black hole at the center of our lives. Meet Sagittarius A, the ginormous black hole that resides in mega-gravitational splendor at the center of the Milky Way, sucking up energy and spitting it back out in the form of X-rays and even hotter, crazier particles too. Do you dare look more closely at its firey depths? More » -

Black Hole Shoots Pink Jet Of Death
A supermassive black hole is blasting a powerful jet, smashing a nearby galaxy in the system known as 3C321, NASA says. The jet's unprecedented "galactic violence" could wreak destruction on any planets in its path, and could create a burst of new stars. Image by AP/NASA.
