Sgr A* is the name we’ve given to the supermassive black hole that sits at the center of the Milky Way. We’ve known about its presence since the 1970s but only managed to image it within the past few ...

Scientists have found evidence that black holes of vastly different sizes may launch powerful jets according to the same universal rule. Supermassive black holes can produce jets soon after tearing ...
