Supermassive black hole mergers occur when entire galaxies merge together. Bumps and kinks in the Milky Way's disk indicate it likely collided with at least a dozen galaxies during the past 12 ...

Because the Milky Way is disk-shaped, astronomers had to look through clouds of dust and debris to peer at the dense heart of our galaxy where the supermassive black hole was thought to lie.

For years, the supermassive black hole in the dark center of the Milky Way galaxy has been theorized about and studied — and finally, it's been captured in an image.

For the first time, astronomers have captured an image of the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, confirming the presence of the cosmic object. It is 4 million times ...

Astronomers capture black hole and its shadow for first time 04:36. Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy, is surrounded by orbiting stars thanks to its ...

Its Milky Way home, a spiral galaxy, is fairly flat, but the center sinks down where the supermassive black hole sits. All around it are stars zipping in varied directions.

Is the Milky Way's supermassive black hole launching a hidden jet? The polarization of light and neat and strong magnetic fields of Sgr A*, and the fact that they closely resemble that of M87*, ...

The black hole at the center of the Milky Way is referred to as Sagittarius A*, or Sgr A*, which is pronounced “sadge-ay-star.” It is more than a thousand times smaller than the black hole in ...

What the researchers discovered is that the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole is spinning somewhere between .84 and .96, close to the top limit that our current model of black holes allows for.

The supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy periodically hiccups after consuming nearby stars and gas clouds, burping a "mini-jet" out into space that is linked to expanding ...

Supermassive black hole mergers occur when entire galaxies merge together. Bumps and kinks in the Milky Way's disk indicate it likely collided with at least a dozen galaxies during the past 12 ...
