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 experts.

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

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 ...

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

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.

Sagittarius A is this supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, the Milky Way. And in 2022, scientists gave us the first-ever look at that black hole.

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 ...

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

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 ...

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 ...

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.
