For the first time, astronomers have captured an image of the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, confirming the presence of the cosmic object. It is 4 million times ...

Chandra X-ray Observatory and X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) imagery of the Milky Way's core and supermassive black hole ...

Supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* is spinning nearly as fast as it can, dragging the very fabric of space-time with it and shaping the heart of the Milky Way.

For years, the supermassive black hole in the dark center of the Milky Way galaxy has been theorized about and studied — and finally, it's been captured in an image.

On May 12th, astronomers with the Event Horizon Telescope collaboration unveiled an image of Sagittarius A*, the black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy.

The Milky Way's central black hole, known as Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), has been "leaking" or emitting jet-like superheated beams for several thousand years. In a composite image captured with the ...

Astronomers capture black hole and its shadow for first time 04:36. Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way galaxy, is surrounded by orbiting stars thanks to its ...

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 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.
