Space & Spaceflight Milky Way’s Black Hole Just Lit Up in a Way We’ve Never Seen Before Astronomers have never detected mid-infrared flares from our galaxy's supermassive black hole—until now.

Seven strangely-behaving stars in the Milky Way's Omega Centauri cluster may be under the influence of an extremely rare type of black hole, new research suggests.

Using NASA's James Webb Space Telescope, Northwestern astrophysicists gained the longest, most detailed glimpse yet of the supermassive black hole at the center of the Milky Way. They found the ...

An image of Sagittarius A*, the supermassive black hole at the heart of the Milky Way, which scientists think is spinning as fast as it possibly can.

The James Webb Space Telescope has shown that the Milky Way’s black hole is constantly blazing with light, releasing long flares as well as short flashes every day.

NASA's flagship space telescope captured flares from the disk of superheated material around the black hole, revealing the dynamic—and explosive—physics at our galaxy's core.

Scientists have uncovered the existence of a binary star system close to the black hole near the center of the Milky Way galaxy.

New research suggests sub-stellar objects called dark dwarfs could glow forever on dark matter energy. Could they reveal secrets about the universe’s hidden mass?

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.
