The smaller, intermediate mass black hole was likely derived from the Sausage Galaxy, which collided with the Milky Way 10 billion years ago.

A team of US astronomers led by Kailash Sahu said they have finally discovered the first isolated stellar-mass black hole ...

The James Webb Space Telescope (JWST) has teamed up with the MeerKAT radio telescope array to explore how magnetic fields affect star formation at the chaotic center of the Milky Way.

While solitary black holes should be common, they are hard to find. The one in Sagittarius revealed itself when it passed in front of a dim background star, magnifying the star’s light and slowly ...

This galaxy's central black hole appears to be a "messy eater" as its interstellar scraps are strewn into space.

Stars are the architects of nearly all the chemical elements in the universe, including ones crucial to life as we know it, such as carbon and oxygen. Yet, despite decades of research, aspects of star ...

The researchers confirmed that two enormous stars, each more than 20 times the mass of the sun, are growing inside Sagittarius C, blasting out powerful jets of gas as they develop. They also ...

2024 — Researchers have discovered compelling evidence suggesting that the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, known as Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), is likely the result ...

The lone black hole without a companion star is located 5,000 light-years away. A team of scientists have confirmed the existence of a lone black hole that has no star orbiting it in the Milky Way ...

Astronomers have long been puzzled by two strange phenomena at the heart of our galaxy. First, the gas in the central ...

ALMA has revealed evidence of a new type of slim, filamentary structure that drives cycles of depletion and replenishment. At the heart of our galaxy, in the turbulent region surrounding the ...
