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

Supermassive black hole mergers occur when entire galaxies merge together. Bumps and kinks in the Milky Way's disk indicate it likely collided with at least a dozen galaxies during the past 12 ...

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.

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 ...

Its Milky Way home, a spiral galaxy, is fairly flat, but the center sinks down where the supermassive black hole sits. All around it are stars zipping in varied directions.

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 ...
