Supermassive Black Holes Might Really Be 'Traversable' Wormholes, Astrophysicists Suggest
“The wormholes we are considering are traversable wormholes, so theoretically spacecraft can travel through them,” said the lead author of a new study.
The First Black Hole Ever Seen by Humans is Glittering in Space
M87*, the first black hole ever to be directly imaged, has a newly-identified feature: it glitters and wobbles, according to new research.
