A massive filament of gas and dust, designated X7, has been elongated during its long approach to the Milky Way galaxy's supermassive black hole Sagittarius A*. See W.M. Keck Observatory imagery of X7 ...

A striking new image of our Milky Way's center, captured by the European Southern Observatory's ALMA, spans more than 650 ...

Astronomers have used the LOFAR telescope array to create the largest radio survey of the cosmos, revealing 13.7 million ...

A telescope in Chile, part of the ALMA network, captured unprecedented details of star-forming gases at the center of the Milky Way. This image, the largest of its kind, reveals cold cosmic gases and ...

During the survey, researchers identified a promising 8.19-millisecond pulsar (MSP) candidate located close to Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy.

Astronomers have dived into the turbulent and chaotic heart of the Milky Way, discovering hidden chemistry around our galaxy's supermassive black hole.

The object at the Milky Way’s center has long been treated as a settled case: a supermassive black hole called Sagittarius A* ...

Scientists scanning the heart of the Milky Way have spotted a tantalizing signal: a possible ultra-fast pulsar spinning every 8.19 milliseconds near Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at our ...

What if the Milky Way’s central “black hole” isn’t a black hole at all? A new model proposes that an ultra-dense dark matter core could mimic its gravitational pull.

New research suggests that the heart of the Milky Way may be dominated by a dense clump of dark matter rather than the ...

Astronomers have spotted the most massive known stellar black hole in the Milky Way galaxy after detecting an unusual wobble in space. The so-called "sleeping giant," named Gaia BH3, has a mass that ...

Sagittarius A* may be a dense dark matter core instead of a black hole, offering a new explanation for the Milky Way’s central gravity.
