The image of supermassive black hole Sagittarius A * was created using data from the Event Horizon Telescope Collaboration.

Is the Milky Way's supermassive black hole launching a hidden jet? The polarization of light and neat and strong magnetic fields of Sgr A*, and the fact that they closely resemble that of M87*, ...

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 ...

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.

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.

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 ...
