A massive filament of gas and dust, designated X7, has been elongated during its long approach to the Milky Way galaxy's ...

Observations of the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way, Sagittarius A*, collected by the James Webb Space ...

Dusty stars close to the Milky Way’s black hole stay stable for years. New infrared data shows they survive gravity and ...

Sagittarius A* is the supermassive black hole sitting at the core of the Milky Way. It has a mass of 4.3 million times our ...

"The sizes of these radio jets are not comparable to our solar system or even our galaxy." ...

A Milky Way collision with a supermassive black hole might be closer than we thought. Hidden deep in the Large Magellanic Cloud dwarf galaxy that orbits the Milky Way on an ever-closing loop, signs of ...

A near-infrared view of the stars near the center of the Milky Way galaxy. - ESO / S. Gillessen et al. Astronomers suspect the giant black hole at the heart of the Milky Way may have collided with ...

In fact, these jets often expand into wide plumes or “lobes” that fan out far above and below their host galaxies. The jets ...

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 ...

Astronomers have detected a mid-infrared flare from the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy for the very first time, and it’s shedding new light on the complex physics driving ...
