Image of the supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). from the Event Horizon Telescope (EHT) collaboration "has uncovered strong and organised magnetic fields spiralling from its edge," ...

an international team of scientists made the first-ever detection of a mid-IR flare from Sagittarius A*, the supermassive massive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way. In simultaneous radio ...

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 ...

In the heart of our Milky Way galaxy, two gigantic "bubbles" extend roughly 50,000 light-years above and below the galactic ...

The Fermi Bubbles, massive shockwaves from a black hole eruption, still expand over the Milky Way. This event reshaped our ...

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 ...

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.

Astronomers have detected a binary star system orbiting Sagittarius A*, the Milky Way's central supermassive black hole. Just on the outskirts of a supermassive black hole roughly 4 million times ...

An artist's concept of the supermassive black hole's mid-infrared flare. Image: CfA/Mel Weiss Astronomers have detected a mid-infrared flare from the supermassive black hole at the heart of the ...

just a tenth of a light-year from Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy. If scientists can confirm its existence, it could give vital clues to how black ...
