Black holes generally come in two sizes: big and really big. As they are so dense, they are measured in terms of mass rather than size, and astronomers call these two groups of stellar mass black ...
A black hole bomb – an idea first proposed in 1969 – has now been realised in the lab as a toy model made from a rotating cylinder and magnetic coils. Studying the bomb could help us better ...
Located 5,000 light-years from Earth, this black hole is much closer than the supermassive one at the Milky Way’s center, which also lies in Sagittarius but about 27,000 light-years from us.
