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 ...

As far as supermassive black holes go, the one at the center of the Milky Way is relatively sedate. But, even in its supposed quiescent state, Sagittarius A* is prone to the occasional belch or ...

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 ...

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 ...

Sagittarius A* is the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. As supermassive black holes go, it is fairly quiet. It’s not creating any galaxy-wide tantrums that should worry us.

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