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.

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

New research suggests that the Milky Way may host more satellite galaxies than previously predicted, thanks to advanced ...

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 ...

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 ...

Scientists believe the Milky Way contains up to 400 billion stars and at least as many planets. The largest galaxy known, IC 1101, has more than 100 trillion stars. Step outside on a clear night and ...

The scientists who precisely measure the position of Earth are in a bit of trouble. Their measurements are essential for the ...

A microquasar belonging to our Milky Way galaxy has set records by generating cosmic rays with energy levels never before seen.

These are rare occurrences—scientists estimate that the giant black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy gobbles a star ...

Sagittarius A*, the super massive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy, has long been the subject of many astrophysical studies. (CREDIT: Tranding art/Shutterstock) ...
