In addition to being an artificial representation, the embedding diagram also attempts to show what is happening inside the black hole’s event horizon, the point of no return.

A diagram shows the three main stages of black hole mergers with stage 2 being the theorhetical phase that explains the final parsec problem. (Image credit: Robert Lea (created with Canva)) ...

Credit: ESO / S. Gillessen et al. Astronomers suspect the giant black hole at the heart of the Milky Way may have collided with another black hole in just the past 10 million years.

The team also found that the supermassive black hole, which is located around 12.9 billion light-years away from Earth, is rapidly feasting on the gas and dust around it. In other words, it's growing.

Less than 2,000 light-years away from Earth, scientists have discovered a “sleeping giant”—the Milky Way’s largest stellar black hole, with a mass 33 times greater than that of our sun ...
