Sagittarius A* is the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. As supermassive black holes go, it is fairly ...

Among these findings is the potential detection of an intermediate black hole near Sagittarius A*, bridging the gap between stellar-mass and supermassive black holes. The James Webb Space ...

Sgr A*, at the heart of the Milky Way and clocking in at 4.3 million solar masses, is the closest supermassive black hole we have access to. It's also on the quiescent end of the activity scale, which ...

Scientists have been actively observing Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*)— a supermassive black hole roughly 4 million times the mass of the Sun— since the early 1990s. Sgr A* regularly exhibits flares that can ...

particularly supermassive black holes like Sagittarius A* at the center of our Milky Way galaxy. The Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) has played a crucial role in this research, providing ...

There’s plenty of action at the center of the galaxy, where a supermassive black hole (SMBH) known as Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*) literally holds the galaxy together. Part of that action is the creation ...

Researchers from the University of Connecticut have created the first 3D maps of star-forming gas clouds in one of the most ...

Scientists have detected emanating from the nucleus of a galaxy relatively close to our Milky Way flashes of X-rays gradually ...
