A theory about black holes and how they eject light waves out of their backsides posited by Albert Einstein in 1915 has been proven correct, more than 100 years later.

The first image of a black hole, captured in 2019, has revealed more support for Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity. The new finding has suggested his theory is now 500 times harder to ...

A prediction Albert Einstein's theory of general relativity made more than 100 years ago has been proven as scientists detect light from behind a black hole.

Launching in Jan. 2024, the Einstein Probe will use a "lobster eye" to search the universe for blasts of X-rays and help scientists investigate powerful cosmic events like supernova explosions.

As they merged, the black holes released a gravitational wave, known as GW200129, that carried the signature of precession at a rate of three times a second. Read Full Article » Related Topics: black ...

Black Holes May Exert Pressure, Solving Problem That Troubled Albert Einstein, Stephen Hawking Published Sep 10, 2021 at 11:11 AM EDT By Robert Lea Newsweek Is A Trust Project Member ...

Albert Einstein was right: There is an area at the edge of black holes where matter can no longer stay in orbit and instead falls in, as predicted by his theory of gravity. Using telescopes ...

Einstein's theory predicts the size of the event horizon based on the mass of the black hole; and in April 2019, it was already clear that the shadow fits general relativity's prediction pretty well.

An international team unveiled the first-ever image of the Milky Way's black hole on Thursday. Researchers say the image helps confirm predictions from Einstein's theory of general relativity. The ...

For the first time ever, astronomers have directly detected light from behind a supermassive black hole. The discovery proves Albert Einstein’s theory of general relativity was right — again.

It’s a light show in space unlike any other. For the first time, scientists have detected light from behind a black hole, and it fulfills a prediction rooted in Albert Einstein’s theory of ...

S0-102 orbits the black hole at 3,107 miles (5,000 km) per second, a speed so tremendous that it completes its full, 409 billion-mile (658 billion km) orbit around the hole in just 11.5 years.
