Chandra X-ray Observatory and X-ray Polarimetry Explorer (IXPE) imagery of the Milky Way's core and supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* has been sonified by SYSTEM Sounds. Credit: ...

The James Webb Space Telescope's Near-Infrared Camera (NIRCam) reveals a stunning view of star-forming region Sagittarius C ...

As NASA reports, two astronomers working with raw Webb data the space agency periodically makes available to researchers, ...

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.

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 ...

The supermassive black hole casts a shadow on this glowing, gobbled-up gas. EHT scientists used a similar technique to create the first images of a black hole M87*’s event horizon, released in 2019.

Using the XMM-Newton telescope, astronomers have witnessed high-speed "burps" erupting from a distant overfeeding supermassive black hole.

The Milky Way's supermassive black hole, known as Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*), is over 4 million times more massive than our sun. Its strong gravitational pull draws nearby stars and gas clouds into ...

Because the Milky Way is disk-shaped, astronomers had to look through clouds of dust and debris to peer at the dense heart of our galaxy where the supermassive black hole was thought to lie.

The team suggests the bubbles—named the eRosita bubbles after the telescope that found them in 2020—are the result of powerful jet activity launched by the Milky Way's supermassive black hole ...

LRT: Here are stars orbiting the 4 million solar mass black hole at the center of the Milky Way. This isn’t a simulation, it’s 21 years of observations. S0-2 hits a max speed of ~3% the speed ...

For the Milky Way’s supermassive black hole, it’s glow time. Known as Sagittarius A*, the behemoth at the center of the galaxy dazzled astronomers in 2019 with a light show more brilliant than ...
