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 ...

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

(NewsNation) — A team of astronomers have found a new and unknown object in the Milky Way galaxy that could shed light on the formation of black holes. The object could be an actual black hole, or it ...

Smaller black holes tend to attract less material, making them naturally dimmer. Chandra would miss many of these faint ...

A new study on some 1,600 galaxies based on data from the Chandra X-ray Observatory reveals that many small galaxies do not ...

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

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 discovered 53 new supermassive black hole-powered quasars that are blasting out jets of matter at near light-speed that stretch out for up to 7.2 million light-years, around 50 times ...

Astronomers have unveiled the first wild but fuzzy image of the supermassive black hole at the center of our own Milky Way galaxy. Nearly all galaxies, including our own, are believed to have these ...

Scientists explain how rare bright blue cosmic flashes form when black holes tear apart massive stars, based on new observations of the event AT 2024wpp and similar fast blue optical transients ...

Scientists have discovered two gargantuan radio bubbles at the center of the Milky Way, near the galaxy's supermassive black holes. These never-before-seen structures are believed to have formed ...
