Sgr A*, at the heart of the Milky Way and clocking in at 4.3 million solar masses, is the closest supermassive black hole we have access to. It's also on the quiescent end of the activity scale, which ...
The James Webb Space Telescope has captured a mid-infrared picture of Sagittarius A*, filling in a long-standing gap in ...
Astronomers have discovered an extraordinary new giant radio galaxy with plasma jets 32 times the size of our Milky Way.
Using the MIRI instrument onboard the James Webb Space Telescope, an international team of scientists made the first-ever ...
Active galactic nuclei are supermassive black holes at the center of certain galaxies. As matter falls into these black holes ...
Scientists have detected emanating from the nucleus of a galaxy relatively close to our Milky Way flashes of X-rays gradually ...
A black hole infamous for strange features has once again baffled astronomers, this time with rapid X-ray flashes. What could ...
A team that included University of Arizona astronomers captured the infrared image of the supermassive black hole using a Large Binocular Telescope Interferometer.
Sagittarius A* is the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. As supermassive black holes go, it is fairly quiet. It’s not creating any galaxy-wide tantrums that should worry us.
Researchers found far more hidden black holes than previously known, indicating plenty of behemoths lurking in thick clouds ...
