A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge ...

Astronomers studying the Milky Way's supermassive black hole have found "compelling evidence" that could finally help explain its mysterious past. Located 26,000 light-years away in the center of ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST), launched in 2022, continues to reshape how we view the cosmos. Designed to look deeper into space and further back in time than any previous instrument, it has ...

Supermassive black hole mergers occur when entire galaxies merge together. Bumps and kinks in the Milky Way's disk indicate it likely collided with at least a dozen galaxies during the past 12 ...

The colossal black hole lurking at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is spinning almost as fast as its maximum rotation rate.

The black hole at the Milky Way’s heart neither slumbers nor sleeps. Instead, the ring of plasma surrounding it flickers constantly, punctuated by superbright flares, observations show.

The EHT managed to image the black hole in the center of our Milky Way galaxy, Sagittarius A*, as well as the black hole in the center of the elliptical galaxy M87, M87* — marking the first two ...

Seven strangely-behaving stars in the Milky Way's Omega Centauri cluster may be under the influence of an extremely rare type of black hole, new research suggests. When you purchase through links ...

D9 is the first star pair ever found near Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way. This image shows an emission line of hydrogen mapped by the SINFONI instrument ...

Our galaxy’s centre may contain an exceptional cosmic spinning top – a black hole that seems to be spinning almost as fast as possible. Michael Janssen at Radboud University in the Netherlands ...

Astronomers have studied the globular cluster 47 Tucanae extensively, but still have many questions. It may have an ...
