SUNSET: 
More Big Black Holes Found in Small Galaxies
In the quest to discover how massive black holes form, astronomers have spotted several of these objects in some of the smallest galaxies yet found to host them.
Bubbles, Heated Clouds Point to Active Past for Galactic Center
Two studies support the suspicion that our galaxy’s black hole had one or more outbursts a few million years ago.
More Black Hole Mergers Found in LIGO Data
Analysis by an independent team has ferreted out seven candidates for gravitational-wave events from merging black holes.
Video: Black Hole Warps Light
The hypnotizing effect of a black hole on its surroundings appears to dramatic effect in this simulation.
Galactic Center Gravity Test Confirmed
A second team of astronomers has now confirmed the light from a star passing near our galaxy’s central black hole behaved as predicted by Einstein’s theory of gravity.
How Does the Event Horizon Telescope Work?
The Event Horizon Telescope creates the image of a black hole shadow thanks to the precise coordination of a worldwide telescope network. Here’s how they do it.
Scientists Unveil First Black Hole Image
The Event Horizon Telescope collaboration has reconstructed the shadow of a supermassive black hole.
Could Dark Matter Be Black Holes?
Astronomers are reconsidering primordial black holes as an answer to the invisible matter mystery, but recent observations disfavor at least some sizes of black hole.

Piercing the Veil of Our Black Hole
Astronomers have overcome the interference of clumpy interstellar gas to catch a glimpse of the gas around the Milky Way’s central black hole.
Astronomers Use Annihilated Star to Clock Black Hole’s Spin
The glow of a star torn up by a supermassive black hole has enabled researchers to measure how fast the black hole whirls around.
