The Latest Breaking News from Black Hole

"Like a frenetic toddler," the monster at the heart of our galaxy is wild-whipping magnetic plasma

All the stories from Thursday’s episode of the Tech & Science Daily podcast.

Astronomers announced that they have detected a strong and organised magnetic field twisted in a spiral pattern around the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole, revealing previously unknown qualities of the immensely powerful object lurking at the center of our galaxy

A black hole may be punching through the disk of gas and dust surrounding a supermassive black hole, causing its giant neighbor to "hiccup."

Astronomers have for the first time imaged the powerful magnetic fields that dwell around the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A*.

Physicists created a 'quantum vortex,' which flows with 500 times less viscosity than water and could be used to study the space-time warping caused by black holes.

Scientists created a giant vortex made of tiny quantum parts in a helium superfluid just a few degrees above absolute zero. This "quantum tornado" helped them to bring black hole physics down to Earth.

Nearly 1.3 million quasars are included in a vast cosmic map, with the most distant having existed just 1.5 billion years after the Big Bang.

Astronomers have discovered rather close evidence of a star being ripped apart and devoured by a supermassive black hole in a tidal disruption event.

With help from the James Webb Space Telescope, scientists have identified a possible lead on how some supermassive black holes get so incredibly big.

The hunt for the first stars, known as Population III stars, may be nearing an end as the James Webb Space Telescope spotted tantalizing evidence for them in one of the earliest galaxies known.
