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 ...

The Big Bang model begins with a point of infinite density where the laws of physics break down. This is a deep theoretical problem that suggests the beginning of the Universe is not fully understood, ...

Hubble Space Telescope snapped an image of UGC 11397, a spiral galaxy situated in the constellation Lyra, about 250 million ...

The supermassive black hole at the center of our galaxy, Sagittarius A*, is spinning rapidly and altering space-time around it, a new study has found.

Using machine learning to analyse data from the Event Horizon Telescope, researchers found the black hole at the centre of ...

It's as if the black hole basically hurled it out of the galaxy. Sponsor Message Han and his colleagues recently studied 21 of these hypervelocity stars at the fringes of the Milky Way.

Researchers have found that the supermassive black hole in the center of our Milky Way galaxy, known as Sagittarius A*, is spinning so rapidly that it is altering the fabric of space-time around it.

The monster black hole in galaxy cluster Abell 85 is roughly the size of our solar system, but packs the mass of 40 billion suns. Skip to content Introducing the all-new Astronomy.com Forum!

An elusive type of black hole has been discovered in a neighboring galaxy for the first time, according to a new study based on observations from the European Southern Observatory’s (ESO’s ...

But “if a black hole leaves a galaxy, it doesn’t leave by itself,” van Dokkum says. Some of the stars and gas that were gravitationally bound to the black hole leave with it.

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.

The XMM Newton space telescope has seen a feeding supermassive black hole as it throws a galaxy-sized tantrum ‘flipping over the table’ and preventing its parent galaxy from birthing new stars.
