Doubly Warped World of Binary Black Holes: This image shows the warped view of a larger supermassive black hole (red) when it passes almost directly behind a companion black hole (blue) with half its mass. The gravity of the foreground black hole transforms its partner into a surreal collection of arcs. (Image: NASA)

Black Hole Jets in Hercules A: Spectacular jets powered by the gravitational energy of a supermassive black hole in the core of the elliptical galaxy Hercules A as imaged by Hubble Space Telescope's Wide Field Camera 3 and the Karl G. Jansky Very Large Array (VLA) radio telescope in New Mexico. (Image: Canva)

A Multiwavelength View of the Milky Way’s Center: The central region of our galaxy, the Milky Way, contains an exotic collection of objects, including a supermassive black hole weighing about 4 million times the mass of the Sun, clouds of gas at temperatures of millions of degrees, neutron stars and white dwarf stars tearing material from companion stars, and beautiful tendrils of radio emission. This new composite image shows Chandra data (green and blue) combined with radio data (red) from the MeerKAT telescope in South Africa. (Image NASA)
Black Hole Accretion Disk and Corona: A black hole pulls material off a neighboring star and into an accretion disk in this illustration of a black hole named MAXI J1820+070. Above the disk is a region of superhot subatomic particles called the corona. (Image: NASA)

Black Hole Accretion Disk Visualization: This visualization of a black hole illustrates how its gravity distorts our view, warping its surroundings as if seen in a carnival mirror. The visualization simulates the appearance of a black hole where infalling matter has collected into a thin, hot structure called an accretion disk. The black hole’s extreme gravity skews light emitted by different regions of the disk, producing the misshapen appearance. (Image: NASA)

Artist’s Concept of a Gamma-ray Burst: Two neutron stars begin to merge in this artist’s concept, blasting jets of high-speed particles and producing a cloud of debris. Scientists think these kinds of events are factories for a significant portion of the universe’s heavy elements, including gold. (Image: NASA)

Artist’s Concept of a Runaway Black Hole: This is an artist's concept of a runaway supermassive black hole that was ejected from its host galaxy as a result of a tussle between it and two other black holes. As the black hole plows through intergalactic space it compresses tenuous gas in front of it. This precipitates the birth of hot blue stars. This illustration is based on Hubble Space Telescope observations of a 200,000-light-year-long trail of stars behind an escaping black hole. (Image: NASA)
Record-breaking Black Hole in Galaxy UHZ1: This image contains the most distant black hole ever detected in X-rays, a result that may explain how some of the first supermassive black holes in the universe formed. This discovery was made using X-rays from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory (purple) and infrared data from NASA’s James Webb Space Telescope (red, green, and blue). (Image: NASA)

Black Hole Jets in Centaurus A: The galaxy Centaurus A (Cen A) shines bright in this image combining X-ray data from NASA’s Chandra X-ray Observatory (blue) and IXPE (Imaging X-ray Polarimetry Explorer) satellite (blue), and optical light from the European Southern Observatory in Chile (white and gray). In the center, a supermassive black hole feeds off the gas and dust encircling it, while large jets of high-energy particles and other material spew out. (Image: NASA)
