A star called S301 passes Sagittarius A* at 8% of light speed, near enough that the black hole's spin should bend its orbit.

Villanova astrophysicist Becka Phillipson wondered what a black hole might sound like. She found an answer by translating ...

The half-century-long hunt for a missing piece of the Milky Way’s heart has finally ended with scientists finally discovering active wind caused by the black hole's jets. According to theoretical ...

Sgr A* is the name we’ve given to the supermassive black hole that sits at the center of the Milky Way. We’ve known about its presence since the 1970s but only managed to image it within the past few ...

Sgr A*, the four-million-solar-mass black hole anchoring the Milky Way 26,000 light-years from Earth, has been producing a persistent outflow of hot gas for at least 20,000 years — and astronomers ...

Scientists have understood for years that black holes should produce wind or streams of gas as they consume matter, but a search for such a wind around the central black hole of the Milky Way galaxy ...

Astronomers have completed the most comprehensive census of active galactic nuclei (AGN) to date, providing the clearest picture yet of the probability that galaxies of different sizes host active ...
