M87* stands out from the Milky Way's central supermassive black hole, Sagittarius A* (Sgr A*). Our home supermassive black hole has a mass equal to that of around 4.3 million suns, while M87* has ...

Could a decades-long debate about the mysterious movements of stars in Omega Centauri, the largest star cluster in the Milky Way, finally ... "intermediate mass" black hole (IMBH), weighing ...

In 2022, NASA released the first-ever image of the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy, known as Sagittarius A*. It is about 4 million times the mass of the Sun.

There may not be an intermediate-mass black hole ... supermassive black holes range from millions to billions of solar masses and are found at the centers of most galaxies, including our Milky Way.

Previously, scientists believed that the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way was a sleeping giant. It would periodically awaken to devour any star of gas clouds that fell into it.

One of the strangest galaxies in the neighborhood of the Milky Way has just presented astronomers with a fascinating mystery. It's called Centaurus A, and huge jets of plasma shooting from its central ...
