New research suggests that the heart of the Milky Way may be dominated by a dense clump of dark matter rather than the ...

For decades, scientists have theorized that the Milky Way Galaxy’s supermassive black hole, known as Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), ...

During the survey, researchers identified a promising 8.19-millisecond pulsar (MSP) candidate located close to Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy.

A massive filament of gas and dust, designated X7, has been elongated during its long approach to the Milky Way galaxy's ...

There's no denying that something massive lurks at the heart of the Milky Way galaxy, but a new study asks whether a supermassive black hole is the only possible explanation. All measurements taken of ...

Scientists scanning the heart of the Milky Way have spotted a tantalizing signal: a possible ultra-fast pulsar spinning every 8.19 milliseconds near Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at our ...

What if the Milky Way’s central “black hole” isn’t a black hole at all? A new model proposes that an ultra-dense dark matter core could mimic its gravitational pull.

Researchers are finding out more about a supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy, discovering that it has been leaking gases for several thousand years and is not the sleeping ...

Previous observations of stars whipping around an unseen mass—especially a bright star called S2—have pointed to an object ...
