The Latest Breaking News from Black Hole

Astronomers accidentally use rare 'double zoom' technique to view black hole's corona in unprecedented detail

For the first time, astronomers have directly measured a solar-system-size corona around a distant supermassive black hole, thanks to a rare cosmic alignment.
