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," ...

"Our measurements imply that the supermassive black hole mass is 10% of the stellar mass in the galaxies we studied." ...

Astronomers using the Atacama Large Millimeter/submillimeter Array (ALMA) in Chile have discovered "signs of a ‘hot spot’ orbiting Sagittarius A*," according to the European Southern Observatory (ESO) ...

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 ...

the supermassive massive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way. In simultaneous radio observations, the team found a radio counterpart of the flare lagging behind in time. The paper is ...

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

Image: CfA/Mel Weiss Astronomers have detected a mid-infrared flare from the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy for the very first time, and it’s shedding new light on ...

Artist's impression of a supermassive black hole surrounded by gas and dust in four different wavelengths of light. Visible ...

By combining data from NASA’s IRAS and NuSTAR telescopes, scientists have uncovered more hidden supermassive black holes than earlier estimates suggested. Their findings indicate that over a third of ...

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.

Known as Sgr A* – pronounced “Sagittarius A star” – the supermassive black hole is four million times the mass of the sun and is known to exhibit flares that can be observed in multiple wavelengths, ...
