A new generation of black hole research is unfolding thanks to artificial intelligence, massive simulations, and cutting-edge ...

Astronomers studying the Milky Way's supermassive black hole have found "compelling evidence" that could finally help explain its mysterious past. Located 26,000 light-years away in the center of ...

We know black hole mergers occur because we can detect the resulting gravitational waves. But when trying to piece together ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

A new quantum recipe for black holes could be the first step toward a theory of "quantum gravity", the "holy grail" of ...

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

The colossal black hole lurking at the center of the Milky Way galaxy is spinning almost as fast as its maximum rotation rate ...

Cosmic radiation occasionally contains enormous amounts of energy, but we don’t know why or where this radiation comes from.

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