Astronomers have discovered the closest known black hole to Earth, just 1.600 light-years away. Scientists announced Friday that this black hole is 10 times more massive than our Sun and three times closer to us than previously known black holes. A black hole is identified by observing the motion of its companion star, which orbits…

NASA posted an audio recording from space on its Twitter account, which shows sound waves coming from a black hole and passing through a group of galaxies. "The false assumption that there is no sound in space comes from the fact that most of space is a vacuum, through which no waves can travel. The galaxy cluster has so much gas that…

Astronomers have for the first time observed bright X-ray reflections from a supermassive black hole in the center of the galaxy 800 meters light-years away. Researchers studied a feature known as the corona, but telescopes also picked up an unexpected "light echo". These extra rays were smaller, later and with different colors from the bright reflections. The discovery confirms the general theory of relativity…
