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

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 ...

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

Still, she said, the two black holes are very different from one another — for one thing, the Milky Way's black hole isn't as voracious. "The one in M87 is accumulating matter at a significantly ...

"What we're seeing now is that there are strong, twisted, and organized magnetic fields near the black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy," Sara Issaoun, a project co-leader and NASA ...

Now, thanks to the Gaia mission, we have observational evidence of the largest black hole in the Milky Way outside of the supermassive one, with a mass 33 times that of the Sun.

The stellar-mass black hole is located around 5,000 light-years from Earth in the Carina-Sagittarius spiral arm of the Milky Way.Usually, such objects have companion stars, yet this one is alone.
