Observations from the Event Horizon Telescope may reveal a secret merger in our supermassive black hole's past, potentially explaining the cosmic monster's unusual spin.

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 ...

Supermassive black hole Sagittarius A* is spinning nearly as fast as it can, dragging the very fabric of space-time with it and shaping the heart of the Milky Way.

Sagittarius A* is the supermassive black hole at the center of our home Milky Way galaxy. It has a mass equal to billions of suns and has an accretion disk made up of gas and dust surrounding it.

The EHT managed to image the black hole in the center of our Milky Way galaxy, Sagittarius A*, as well as the black hole in the center of the elliptical galaxy M87, M87* — marking the first two ...

D9 is the first star pair ever found near Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the centre of the Milky Way. This image shows an emission line of hydrogen mapped by the SINFONI instrument ...

By ADITHI RAMAKRISHNAN. NEW YORK (AP) — Scientists have spotted what appear to be two stars whipping around each other near the supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy ...

The supermassive black hole at the center of our Milky Way galaxy is associated with wanton destruction, but a recent discovery throws that assumption into question.. A team of international ...

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*, ...
