In summer, we face toward the Milky Way's hub in the Teapot constellation, home to the galaxy's supermassive black hole.

A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge computing. Scientists have used a powerful neural network trained with ...

The image of supermassive black hole Sagittarius A * was created using data from the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration.

The James Webb Space Telescope has shown that the Milky Way’s black hole is constantly blazing with light, releasing long flares as well as short flashes every day.

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 ...

What the researchers discovered is that the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole is spinning somewhere between .84 and .96, close to the top limit that our current model of black holes allows for.

The black hole, called Sagittarius A* (pronounced A-star), is an object about four million times the mass of our Sun and sits at the core of the Milky Way. Black holes are ultra-dense objects with ...

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

(Left) the relatively quiet black hole at the heart of the Milky Way (Right) the violent and turbulent supermassive black ...

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 ...
