The image of supermassive black hole Sagittarius A * was created using data from the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration.

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 ...

Using machine learning to analyse data from the Event Horizon Telescope, researchers found the black hole at the centre of ...

For example, astronomers have observed unusual motions of stars and unexplained mass distributions within it, which could be the result of the gravitational pull of a central black hole. In other ...

Sagittarius A* is the supermassive black hole at the center of our home Milky Way galaxy. It has a mass equal to billions of suns and has an accretion disk made up of gas and dust surrounding it.

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 EHT managed to image the black hole in the center of our Milky Way galaxy, Sagittarius A*, as well as the black hole in the center of the elliptical galaxy M87, M87* — marking the first two ...

An illustration comparing the Milky Way with 2MASX J23453268−0449256. Bagchi and Ray et al. / Hubble Space Telescope. The extreme black hole is not the only unusual feature of 2MASX J23453268− ...

Two stars may be orbiting each other near a supermassive black hole in our Milky Way galaxy The celestial sighting is interesting and unusual, and more research is needed to be certain of what the ...

D9 is the first star pair ever found near Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way. This image shows an emission line of hydrogen mapped by the SINFONI instrument ...

The supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy is associated with wanton destruction, but a recent discovery throws that assumption into question.. A team of international ...
