Researchers used an AI model to create a new image of the black hole at the center of the Milky Way, with some concern from ...

Black holes are one of the most mysterious cosmic phenomena, despite how much we continue to learn about them. While considered a mathematical possibility for many years, the first black hole wasn ...

A new study has been accepted by the Journal of Cosmology and Astroparticle Physics that proposes two new models of black ...

The type of black hole that’s sitting in the center of a galaxy is different. This is a supermassive black hole, or SMBH, and — as its name implies — it’s much heftier.

We know black hole mergers occur because we can detect the resulting gravitational waves. But when trying to piece together ...

Gravitational waves stretch and squeeze the fabric of space and time itself. When space/time is squeezed, pulsar pulses ...

Since then much evidence has emerged to support this idea. In 2018, astronomers even took an image of the black hole sitting at the center of a nearby galaxy called M87. It turns out that supermassive ...

Astronomers observing the black hole at the center of our galaxy watched it light up with "unprecedented brightness." And they aren't sure why.

Astronomers have spotted a rare "'missing link"' black hole, and it's lurking right in the center of our galaxy. The IRS 13 star cluster has long been a puzzle for astronomers. Located just a ...

An artist’s illustration depicts the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy, known as Sagittarius A*. It’s surrounded by a swirling accretion disk of hot gas and dust.

At the center of the Milky Way, there is a supermassive black hole named Sagittarius A* that is located 26,000 light-years away. It is 14.6 million miles wide and is four million times the mass of ...

The supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A* at the center of the Milky Way possesses 4 million times the mass of the sun. And that is dwarfed by supermassive black holes billions of times ...
