What if the Milky Way’s central “black hole” isn’t a black hole at all? A new model proposes that an ultra-dense dark matter core could mimic its gravitational pull.

Intense radiation emitted by active supermassive black holes—thought to reside at the center of most, if not all, galaxies—can slow star growth not just in their host galaxy, but also in galaxies ...

A telescope in Chile, part of the ALMA network, captured unprecedented details of star-forming gases at the center of the Milky Way. This image, the largest of its kind, reveals cold cosmic gases and ...
